What makes you think gluing half a motor to the glass
would make any difference?
My money is on the very high probability (IMHO) that the motor case delaminated from the propellant grain during the saw cut. Doomed from the very start. |

Even with the motor encased in a wood block, the propellant probably came lose from the tube when it was cut. -- Roger |
