Professor & Borodach
Professor, I was just carving a little wooden maze and wondered if a good joint could hide a secret passage. Ever thought about how a perfect glue bond might act like a hidden corridor in a labyrinth?
Professor:
Ah, the glue as a corridor—quite the metaphor. When you join two boards, the adhesive is like a hidden tunnel: invisible yet critical to the integrity of the maze. If you were to place a small pocket along that joint, it would indeed become a secret passage—though you'd have to be meticulous, lest the glue creep into the gap and seal it off. Just remember, the same way a weak bond collapses a structure, a poorly sealed tunnel will collapse your little labyrinth. So, yes, a perfect joint can hide a passage, but only if you treat it with the same care you give to every turn in the maze.
Good point. Just remember, if the glue runs too thin, the tunnel might collapse. Keep the joint tight, like a well‑planned cut. That's how you keep the maze standing.
Professor:
Exactly, keep the joint tight and the corridor stable. A well‑executed seam is the backbone of any maze, glue or wood.
