All you're doing with adhesive bonding in most cases is trying to find adhesives that increase the viscosity. Bikerman gives some typical values of how long it takes to form a joint. This is right out of his book. Force and pressure: 14 PSI, 1.4 PSI. Viscosity in gram-seconds per centimeter squared — centipoise. There's also Saybolts which are kinematic. Viscosity units are just as bad as slugs and pounds. Radius 1 cm, 10 cm, different thicknesses of joints, 10 mils, 1 mil initial thicknesses, and the time to form the joint: 7-1/2 milliseconds, 75 seconds, or 7500 seconds.
