Here's the steps I took minus the paint which I may do once it drys:
1. Slide a putty knife under the tape and squirt in some waterproof
woodworking glue with
a short "open time" so it sets quickly

2. work it around, and hold it down long enough to dry.

3. apply some bathroom-type paintable caulk to the joint,

4. smooth it around so it's not obvious, and let it dry.

5. A little touch-up paint will make it invisible unless you know
where to look.

Thanks Mike and Steve!

(and thanks to my brother who gave me additional guidance and a
confidence boost)
