I tried using regular model glue left alone for 24 hours and it still came apart.
Then I tried Tamiya glue & it still wouldn't hold.
Any suggestions would help a lot
Thanks SlickMick

Most of the band tracks, especially the older ones, are meant to be melted closed. I have an old screwdriver that I heat up over a candle and get it hot before melting the nubs down.

For the modern styrene types that can be glued (Dragon's DS track for example) I just use my normal Tamiya Extra Thin and then clamp the joint.
