Warning: My crew thinks I'm nuts for gluing plywood edges without clamping

It bonds fine if you weight it down and don't rush the cure time.

Wait, are we talking about the same glue here? I swear some folks act like wood glue is a fancy science project instead of just sticky stuff that dries hard. I've used a stack of old phone books, my toolbox, even a paint can to hold an edge overnight. Sometimes the proper way is just what works without making you dig out every clamp you own.

Just weight?! That goes against every bit of standard practice I've ever seen for glue (you just wait for it to dry).

Yeah, but sometimes you just need to press things together, not clamp the life out of them.
