If wood glue and regular glue doesn't work to hold two cardboard boxes together, then spray adhesive is not gonna fucking work! Get some screws and some nuts and bolt them together, you dolt! Like I told you to begin with!

I'm stage managing a stage version of the Snow Queen and the director wants ice blocks on stage during the last scene set in the Snow Queen's castle. So, we made some cardboard boxes into ice blocks and needed two of them to be attached for ease of setting on stage. I was presented with 3 boxes. Two stacked on stage and with the little crew I have, it's hard to have a quick scene change without those boxes being attached. The director said she would hot glue them together. I told her that would not work, that eventually the boxes would come apart. She needed to screw them together. Guess what? The hot glue held for all of one rehearsal. Actually, it held until the very end of the first rehearsal. So, I said we needed to screw them together. Granted, at that point, we'd have to cut the boxes open and repaint them, but we still had 2 weeks before we opened. The director found some wood glue in the shop and went that route. You know what happened... at the next rehearsal...
