Why is it good to “rough up” a surface to be glued? Wouldn’t a smooth surface give the best adhesion?
In: 29
A rough surface increases contact area between the glue material and the item. The glue then fills in the gaps and acts as an interface between two items. A smooth surface would be best for touching another smooth surface, but you can’t get them smoothed enough and keep contaminant free in practice.
