Interesting point, but maybe they didn't make the tail booms as strong

The 3M heavy duty double sided tape does the job. It’s marketed as mailbox tape or something like that.
If that won’t work, 5 minute epoxy will. Yes, I hear all the cries about broken tail booms, but they haven’t made gliders with those “shear off” tail skids in 30 years so it can’t be that big of a deal.
Contact cement is the way to go if you enjoy wandering around in a huge grass field looking for your tail skid.
That’s my 2 cents, having tried all of these methods.

I know the Schleicher booms are strong, they are laid up with carbon and two layers of Kevlar.
Some have more than 2 layers of Kevlar, but less carbon.
