Hi Wowhaza,

To use less glue would be my first comment, but have you been pre-shaping the parts?

By preshaping the parts, they stay together much easier than trying to "spring" apart. So, the glue "tacks" better.

Also from your comments the paper might be too thin or lightweight for heavy glue. You might try thinning the glue with water if it is a PVA (white) glue.

I use a small ink fill syringe to apply my glue. It leaves a small uniform line that is easy to control when applying the glue. Another method is to use a small paint brush or toothpick to apply the glue.

Hope some of this helps!

Best regards,
Mike Bauer
