Very interesting video about glue joints

So how does this apply to what we're doing?

I guess that depends on how you're building your cues.

One thing that was not very clear , was how long the glue was to sit before putting them together. What the moisture values of the woods used. I also noticed that he did not have them clamped for more than 2 hours, and I must have missed the pressure used to clamp the test parts together with. Been working with wood for over 40 years now, and still learnt something.

I don't think any of the variables mattered for the main points of the video. The glue joint is always stronger than the wood is edgeways.
