Yes, Corian. As far as now.... I have no idea. Technically, once the adhesive is cured, it doesn't matter. It was just about registration, while clamping.

I use dowels, but the principle should transfer. The compressed dowels expand when exposed to the moisture in the glue. So much so, that even unglued dowels painted with water will expand enough to make a strong joint.
So, it is my understanding that the factory produced dominoes are similarly compressed and should similarly expand, and should similarly further improve on registration. This would only work with factory-made dominoes that are compressed. Home made dominoes would not have that property.

I made some Dominos from 10mm x 20mm aluminum flat bar stock. I made a narrow countertop that needed to be retained between 2 vertical support posts and the rear edge of the countertop needed to be removable. Here's a quick explanation.
1. "Keys" being drilled into 10mm x 20mm stock using a spotting drill___photo 4981
2. Finished Dominos___photo 4987-s
3. Dominos installed in walnut countertop___photo 4989
4. A 2-part epoxy is poured down each side of the Domino and agitated with a bamboo skewer to make sure it fills every "key" machined into the Domino___photo 4990
5. Attachment holes drilled & tapped___photo 5014-s
6. This is the underside of the countertop___photo 5015-s
7. Pre-assembled with stainless FHSH cap screws___5021
8 & 9. Installed___ photo 5026 & 5027
10. Final installation with LED illumination___5056-s
Well this is discouraging...
...these photos were entered in proper sequence but when I came back to view them, they got rearranged so that the numbers no longer refer to the correct photo.

I have to admit I don't like adding plastic to my woodworking. One of the reasons I am unlikely to get a Lamello.Just what you didn't know you needed:

They work, but don't consider them removable, like the Lamellow Zeta. Those barbs are a one-way thing. If you do pry them apart, they are destroyed, as well as your mortices.Just what you didn't know you needed:
