RE: Glue - How old is safe?
If the old glue is not filleted or has very tiny fillets, use Sig-Ment and make good fillets everywhere you can reach and see (I assume the plane is already covered).
If you took the old covering off then it is easy to reglue with fillets everywhere.
You would end up with a model that would not fall into dozens of pieces in a bad landing.
The added weight is negligeable.
