It just takes practice, and maybe a few more Lego pieces. Look at where it's
falling apart, and why. See if you can build it different so that there's no
joint at a critical spot, or find a way that the forces are transmitted so that
the joints are being compressed, not pulled apart. If there are pulling forces,
use Technic beams and pegs. You might have to tear down everything, and start
all over. I've done that many times, and never used glue. Yet, my models don't
come apart.

| At a local craft store I found a product called "Plaid Stikit again and again glue". This is a water based liquid that dries to form a "postit note" weak adhesive.
