Glue test. Gorilla/Flex/Loctite/JB Weld Youtube.
tigertiger:
Clamping pressure is important to get glue down into the grains. Although too much pressure can also push the glue out and leave the joint dry.
One thing I would say about the wood test in the video, the tester is gluing end grain to end grain, which is never recommended. Neither is end grain to long grain if it can be avoided. Long grain to long grain is always best, and even PVA joints will be stronger than the wood if done properly. I use outdoor grade PVA for almost everything now. I would only splash out for some of the specialist glues if I need longer assembly times. Things like Titebond are import only items here and cost way too much.

A trap for new modelers....... >>:-( https://youtu.be/MWND8YG0YIg
Titebond II is listed as a Polyurathane glue.......the creater of the Video, Olha Batchvarov is a very talented model ship builder and I have watched a number of her builds
It is apparent that some of the Terms obviously have been mixed up <*< as the Titebond I, II and III range of wood glues are cross linked modified PVA-based glues

LIke chalk & cheese
Not intending to be critical of the tests, or results, which I found predictably interesting .......just the potential confusion for new builders
I have posted a note & the link to Olha, and am sure she will edit out the error
