Using the normal craft stick is possible but they are a bit shorter (1.5" or 3.8cm shorter) so you may need more pieces to get the same lengths or just reduce the scale by that much. For the glue, the Gorilla brand general glue is pretty good for this purpose. For other general purpose glues, I would just do a quick test by gluing two sticks together (1/3rd of lengths overlapping) and try to separate them by pulling it from both ends in the same direction as the sticks. If it gets separated easily, it is not a suitable glue.

Using high strength wood glue will be stronger than using glue sticks!

How many popsicle sticks for a bridge a little smaller

Wow, i have a similar project for engineering design and it says that the bridge shouldnt exceed 250gms, so please help out

I have made one which is less than 200 grams. Please watch it here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtKnddCjy5yWZGQ.html

Is is possible to build like this but it is 1 ft or less than 2 ft? Need for project

Hi A J. Yes. It is possible. If you want to reduce the span of the bridge by a large number, I suggest to reduce the depth and width with about the same ratio as well so it all look kind of proportional.

@@StructurePlanet will you please elaborate more on how to reduce the depth and width with the same ratio? Thanks :>

Hi A J. What span do you want for the bridge?

@neercj 5 жыл бұрын

@@StructurePlanet something like 1.5ft

Well 1.5' is way smaller than the original design so you will need to use smaller stick types. If you want to achieve somewhat similar proportions, I would say make it 3" deep in middle, 1.5" at ends and 2.5" wide. However, depth has a direct relation to the strength so maybe a 4" middle, 2" end and 3" wide is better.
