I attach the two rods together by first, spraying them with 3mm spray adhesive, then taping the two ends and putting a beed of hot glue down the center....kinda in the same since in welding, as I've seen.
Here's a picture of how I put the foam on, and the blade result is 1.25 inch, instead of 1.5 inch.

Shell wrote:What are the advantages of using a "double core" design over a single core? How do you attach the two cores together? How strong/heavy/stiff is the double 1/4" fiberglass core compared to a .524" hollow fiberglass core? how would you attach the first layer of foam seeing as the "blade" edge of the core is only 1/4" wide?

If you have an appropriate single core, there is no advantage, ever.
Double 1/4" is WAY more flexible than .524 kite.
