Some of our readers have expressed a desire to abandon glue, and indeed, you can stop using glue without changing the design.
One solution is to use double-sided tape (adhesive tape), first proposed by video blogger Alhovik Dmitry.

What can I say?
Looks good!
The fact is that Dmitry has a very high level of skill in the assembly. You can even say that he has “golden hands”. Each gluing operation is extremely accurate, and there are no errors. Therefore, for him, double-sided tape is indeed a fair replacement for glue.
However, for most of our readers, we recommend that you continue to use Super-PVA glue.
Why? The reason is that the adhesive tape will not forgive mistakes the way that glue does. If you do not accurately glue the parts with glue, you can fix it. You have some time to move the part until the glue hardens. Adhesive tape will not give such an opportunity. If you have fixed the item in the wrong place, then the item will have to be separated by force. This can distort the whole structure.
Of course, you can argue how long a taped structure will remain stable and intact compared to glue because the tape is not inherently as strong as glue, but each approach has its own strengths and weaknesses.
