Non-sticky problem

I am not sure what is going on.  But with two different bottles of Testors glue and a bottle of Weld-On I am experiencing the same problem on the HobbyCraft A-4N model kit.  Sometimes the glue will bind the pieces together.  Other times the glue will dry and the parts seem to be joined, but the slightest pressure the parts will pop apart.

Latest example - the avionics hump.  It has been curing for 24 hours after being glued.  Even glued in a sheet styrene bulkhead to help make it stronger.  Then with test fitting find the hump does not fit flush, there is too much side in the middle of the hump.  So sand and sand more, think I have it.  So lay down the Testors glue and tape the hump down.  So the rear the hump splits at the seam as if never glued.  So having to fix it again after pulling the hump off.
