Sorry, Duane, I wasn't there to watch what you had done with the doublers. I learned (the hard way) a long time ago that it's polite to ask somebody before accusing them, hence I was just being polite. Many folks don't know that some glues can be allowed to dry and then used like a heat-activated contact cement. I learned it ages ago, so I assume many old-timers would know it.

"Those glues are water-based...it's best to use them for that purpose by letting them at least partially dry, then use heat to reactivate them..." would have worked.
BTW-don't use Titebond (right out of the bottle), to glue those thin plywood doublers [
], unless you're going to use a press until it dries, (which somebody else suggested will work fine).
As far as building techniques, and the best way to use adhesives etc go, it depends on who was around to instruct you during those formative learning times in our lives. I think most of us that build have picked up some good techniques while missing others...that's one of the great things about a build thread, and why I reviewed some of the tips I've learned, (some the hard way), so that someone else who is new to building, or hadn't heard that particular "pitfall" might benefit from it, and not do the same thing.
