I came to wonder about something I read in the Handbook of Model Rocketry. The subject of double-glue joints and if it works as good as this book says.
Just to clarify, "...when gluing porous materials such as paper or wood you coat both surfaces with a layer of glue or bonding agent and let both surfaces dry. Then coat both surfaces again and join them together. The first coat of glue on both surfaces penetrates the pores of the material. The second glue coat is then free to join with the first coat and with the second coat on the other surface. A double glue joint will be so strong that the materials will break or tear before the glue joint turns loose."
"When gluing two pieces of plastic or other nonporous material, use a variation of the double-glue joint. Coat both surfaces with the bonding agent. Since the surfaces don't have pores, you don't need to apply two separate coats of glue to the surfaces. But the cement will soften each surface or adhere to each surface so that the bonding agent will then bond to itself when you bring the two pieces together."
Unless I misunderstood something in the other thread, the posts in it seem to contradict this double-glue joint method.
