You must be usin Testors light glue (Blue Tube). For engine repair and sometimes models I use the Testors Medium or Heavy (Orange Tube). That stuff holds really good. But don't add alot of that stuff to lighter plastic it will
melt the plastic a little bit. Use it to repair your broken step since the plastic is alittle thicker but only use a little. Hope this helps
