You're joking but this reminds me of a hard sci-fi novel I read recently, Saturn Run[0]. One of the minor worldbuilding trivia there is that adhesives seem to be way overused to fix and modify things in space.

(The book also features the coolest design for a radiator I've ever seen anywhere.)

Out of the curiosity, what is the radiator design?

rot13 because it's a bit of a spoiler (IMO half the fun of reading hard sci-fi is seeing the science and engineering being presented):

That sounds incredibly fragile, but I'm guessing most of the technology and infrastructure I depend on on a daily basis is also incredibly fragile.

Wow. That truly is an amazingly cool radiator design idea. I'm going to put the book on my list!

... I sawed the ISS in half.
