I am new at woodworking. I was working on a small project where I was gluing 1/8" x 3/4" strips of wood to some boards and then planned to stain the whole thing. I had some glue squish out and used a wet clothe to wipe that off. It looked fine until I stained it and then I found the glue had not wiped off completely and soaked into the wood and would not take stain. I was using pine and a dark stain so the glue spots showed up like pale yellow smears along the strips. I tried using a very modest amount of glue but it still squished out when I used clamps. How can I avoid this problem on future projects? Phyloe
