Ugh ... hate it when I goof up a build or paint job. The other day I had a freshly painted rocket hanging in the garage, and it slipped off the dowel and fell to the concrete floor. I was sure I had taped it, but it was just a friction fit. Fortunately I had paper wrapped around the top of tube for a mask, and it cushioned the blow. Minor little scuffs in paint where it hit the wall on the way down.

Regarding your glue joints — is the glue old? I do woodworking, and tend to use up glue pretty quickly, but I bought a gallon of Titebond once and it did start to get a bit rubbery, so I tossed it. PVA glues also don’t do too well in a garage over the Winter. My shop is in my basement but I’ve heard of others having the glue freeze, and then having to throw it out.
