held together with spitstresses
gen. на соплях (i.e. made roughly, hastily, just anyhow:  A model, as Novikov expresses it with relish, 'is held together with spit.' The rough-made parts are knocked up anyhow, with just enough care to make them hold together -  Макет сделан, как со вкусом выражается Новиков, "на соплях". Прикручено, наляпано, бросовые детали – все кое-как, лишь бы держалось.  (Д. Гранин, Искатели Taras)
