Spent 3 hours hunting a leak in my tiny dollhouse bathroom
I was building this miniature Victorian bathroom for a dollhouse diorama, and after gluing the sink pipes together, water kept dribbling out the joint. Took me way longer than expected to figure out it wasn't the pipe seal at all. Turned out I had a hairline crack in the resin tub from clamping it too tight the night before. Has anyone else had a small materials issue eat up a whole afternoon like that?

Spent 3 hours hunting a leak" yeah I used a tiny bit of clear nail polish on mine and it sealed right up.

Nail polish is honestly a lifesaver for tiny pinhole leaks, @kaip11. I've done the same on a few old copper joints that were barely weeping and it held for years before I finally got around to replacing the pipe. Just make sure the area is bone dry before you put it on or it won't stick at all.
