finishing over glue

May 18, 2005 1 Replies

I'm regluing an old dining room suite. Sometimes in sanding off the old glue, I have sanded beyong the boundary of the joiint. These areas will have to be touched up when gluing is completed.



I'm concerned about using a glue that will degrade the strength of the glued joint. I'm using hide glue. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best bet on touch-up finishes to use that won't degrade the joint strength?



I'm thninking of Minwax Satin Polyshade, applid with a Q-tip. Any comments would be very welcome.
