Warped! Part 5 Tube Joint Reinforcing

Small strips of paper were cut to make reinforcement tabs.
The pieces were cut from paper a bit thicker than a standard 20 lb. copy paper.

Here's what you are shooting for -
This picture only shows two of the four strips glued in place so far.
I went back and glued four more between these for eight in total.
That's eight pieces in each tube joint.

It's important to glue on one segment, then the eight reinforcement pieces. Then move onto the next higher body tube segment.

After trying a few different ways to glue the tabs, I found the following to be easiest:

Apply some glue to the tab location using a Q-Tip.
Using long tweezers, set the tab into the glue and over the inside of the joint. Glue the other seven tabs in place.
After all tabs are dry apply more glue over the top of the tabs using another Q-tip.
This gives a very strong joint that should hold up well to repeated ejections.
