   • 2012, R. D. Adams, Structural Adhesive Joints in Engineering, →ISBN, page 42:

     The spew is represented by a triangular fillet 0.5 mm high. It can be seen that, because of the predominance of the major principal stress, the adhesive at the ends of the adhesive layer and in the spew fillet is essentially subjected to a tensile load at about 45° to the axis of loading. The highest stresses occur within the spew at the corner of the unloaded adherend, the presence of the 90° corner introducing a stress-concentration effect.

It is clear that spew corner would be free of singulatirites when the fillet angle is less than a critical angle, which is dependent on the Poisson's ration of the adhesive.

The spew is the result of the adhesive squeezed out of the lap region at the moment of the joint manufacture. It was shown that significant increases in shear strength of lap joints, compared with square-ended bondlines, can be achieved through the formation of an adhasive spew at the overlap ends.
