Are you sanding or using a dremel with a small rotary cutter to scar up the surfaces where the two pieces go together?
The problem lies in the fact that the two pieces (or more) expand and contract differently when the temperatures are extreme.
Some people swear by the tube glue 6000E, I think the 100 Silicone in the tube (Home Depot) is what I have been using with success but I do think it is smart
to bring these pieces out of the garden and into a garage or carport over the winter months.

What are your recommendations for caulk?I have been putting together a few glass totems... ( a stack of glass objects for displays or flower gardens)Another crafter told me she uses Marine Goop and I have had great success with it, but it is not cost effective because of the price.I just used Red Devil 100% silicone that we purchased at Menard's on sale and some of my pieces came apart. Seems to take a long time to cure.What are your thoughts? I need a clear caulk that won't break the bank, yet will hold up outdoors during the heat of the summer and rain. It also must hold good.Should I stay with the Red Devil or go to another brand?
