Double Glue Joint
This technique was adopted directly from model rocketry construction. It is a way to make strong glued joints for various woodworking projects you may work on.
Materials
- 2 pieces of wood (using wood shims here)
- Wood glue (or Elmer's would work)
- Spring clams or C-clams (Home Depot has them)

2. Spread out evenly on each piece with your finger or brush.
3. Let it completely dry.

Apply 3rd Layer
1. After the glue has completely dried, put a 3rd layer of glue on one of the dried layers.
Clamp Pieces Together
1. Before the glue dries, clamp the pieces together
2. Wait until it dries before removing clamps.
3. Fill in spaces with additional glue.
