The Dollar Tree has 2" regular masking tape for a buck. If you're only using it for glueup time, regular tape works just fine. Don't leave it on for a few weeks, though.
I would think that the correct track would be to try and prevent it in the first place.
Perhaps some of us don't have an endless supply of money or don't want to deal with the characteristics of some wood types.
"Unnatural"? :) Wood, by it's very nature is NATURAL. If you want eveness, use plastic or paint.

I'll second or third that one. Wiping the glue is a recipe for disaster IME. It just gets it way down deep into the wood and makes it almost impossible to clean up. This is evident at finishing time even if you don't stain, which, of course, I don't, being an official member of the Placating Larry Jacques Society. :)

After all this time, Silvie, you still misspell my name.
Oh hell. Have you pointed that out to me before? If so, I probably missed it. I'm pretty anal about details like that, and I almost certainly would have remembered if I had noticed your mentioning it sooner.
Speaking of Placating Larry Jaques and Shellaques... I think it was Tom or Keith who said something about using shellac on cast iron. Maybe Charlie. Anyway, I painted the base of my DP with the stuff umpty moons ago, and I was just noticing the other day that it's still in perfect shape. Good way to use up stuff that's about to go bad. Might even be suitable for the DP table or such. Though probably not a TS top or other surface that sees a great deal of sliding.
(And yeah, I realize that even though I associate you in my own twisted mind as the guy who badgered me into trying shellac, you actually tout Waterlox, IIRC, as your finish of choice. I'm perfectly well aware of the irony Monsieur.)
Dave, you were doing well for a while there. I was really happy to see you drop the B.A.D. boy act.
too good to last, I guess.
I don't know WHAT your problem is, sir, but I'll just steer around you in the future.
