Nice C&H avatar.

Have you tried putting a little bead at the end of the pipes, and using t-bolt clamps?

T bolt clamps are the best.

T-bolts are the only way to go.

Hirspray and adding the beads are just ways to make the Home Depot couplers work a little better.

Just t-bolt with silicone coupler and you are golden for most applications.
