What you do is the opposite of doing the same thing in series.

You connect two of the secondary wires together, then measure across
the other two wires. You want to measure NO voltage. If you measure
36 volts, you will effectively short a 36 volt transformer when you
connect those two wires...

However, this is not the best way, the best way would be to split the
load if you can, and have separate power supplies...
