Did my pictures and the drawing by JohnGilmore satisfy you as a proper answer to your question ?</p>

How could it? The OP wanted input as to what kind of glue he should use to laminate a strip of balsa to a strip of hardwood. This lay-up has nothing to do with "double glueing" (or tripple, or quadruple, ad nauseum) or fillets.</p>
In woodworking, the term "double glueing" means applying glue to both surfaces to be bonded instead of just one. Especially important to end-grain to end-grain bonding.</p>
(All, stand-by for a demonstration to what John meant in his post #26... )

That's more what I've understood it to be.</p>
I'm no expert. But my Dad was, a fine cabinetmaker. He taught us to double-glue hardwood or dissimilar woods to get better penetration and a stronger bond. Glue and mate the pieces, separate them for an appropriate time (depending on density) anywhere from a minute or two to an hour or more, swipe a couple times with sandpaper then reglue.

One of my posting is being criticized on semantics about the meaning of "double gluing".
You follow with a posting agreeing with the post attempting to correct my understanding of "double gluing".</p>
Then you explain _ _ _</p>

Is this not a second application of glue after a time lapse ?</p>
It sure appears to me that we can refer to this as a second gluing or "double gluing" as I was using the term which I had explained in my post.</p>
It is sometime very interesting how we can read peoples' reactions in this forum.
It is often reflecting the attitude of who is looking for an opportunity to criticize instead of being helpful and contribute with an explanation as was requested.</p>
JohnGilmore was helpful with his drawing that he posted while I was writing and finding the pictures I posted a few minutes after John.</p>
I will contimue to refer to the process as "double gluing" meaning a second application of glue to assure that all joints have a fillet of glue that increases the binding area.</p>
