2 19VDC laptop chargers in series

Need some help from EEs or serious electrical/electronic hobbyists.

A friend needs 36VDC @ ~1.3 amps for a project he's working on.

I have a couple of 19VDC 2.6 amp laptop chargers.

Can I wire the outputs of the laptop chargers in series to provide the desired voltage, without destroying the chargers? Or is there likely to be something in the charger output circuitry that would not be at all pleased if I did that?
