The marine craftsman rule of thumb was a 6 to 1 ratio. Tht is for every inch of thickness the scarf should be 6 inches long. Also a mouldmaker friend once ran tests using many different ahesives soaked some moulds. The results were, unless the mould would be subjected to boiling water, common white glue worked best.

I know the fix is simple but I still seem to do it often enough to be annoying. I’ll kick off with one I keep on repeating for some reason.
