Yep the glue is your problem. Its okay... you tried. Now you know how to do it right.


Wood Glue all the joints (both peices) and clamp them together while u screw them right. Do this will all your joints and when its all dry, THEN you silicon the joints and all is well

if the box is flexing enough to tear apart you might want to double baffle everywhere too.
