When I did a review of the Domino XL DF-700 'domizilla', I mentioned a forthcoming video on Domino joints; I called it an encyclopedia, but that sounds far too authoritative for me. Hence the high-school crib sheet :)
I have a lot of footage to edit and thought only insomniacs would enjoy watching it all in a sitting, so I'm going to break it up into small snippets like this one; some will include multiple tips, but none will require pausing for potty breaks.
If you are browsing from a desktop browser (most mobiles don't show it), there's a table of contents above this entry that will list all related crib sheet posts. So if you save this entry and come back later, you'll find the others listed.
Back to the crib sheet... this first video of the series does a glue-up experiment. I often hear people say they only apply glue inside the Domino mortise for both speed and little to no squeeze-out meaning little to no cleanup. Personally, I put it on both the Domino and in the mortise, but who's to say that isn't just overkill and a lot of cleanup.
This video shows an experiment I did applying glue to a mortise-only and to both. Even if instinctively you think glue in only the mortise is weaker, is it too weak to use? Might be strong enough.

Naturally, I like woodworking as a hobby, but an ice hockey tournament will easily get me out of the shop :)

How about glue only on the tenon?
Chris, a troublemaker at times
There is a video from fine woodwrrking (I think) where they did a similar test, but they also included glue on the tennon also. They used a sheet of glass as one side.
It was very easy to see that glue on both was the only strong glue joint.
