Wet or Dry Rag to Wipe off Excess Glue

We have a Casino here in Point Edward.... and Michigan is not exactly doing that well.... hence the influx of 'working girls'...much more now than ever before.

Gorilla is a brand name, not a type of glue. They do make a PVA. I'm sure that is what he meant.

If you do use epoxy, remember that unlike wood glue, it does not like to be clamped extreeeemely tight. Starvation will hurt epoxy strength, easily.

I tend to agree that fashioning the joint, and using an appropriate amount of glue (, and no more) is the best method.

That said, I tend to use either blue painter's tape or -- now -- Frog Tape -- to protect the joint.

've also had luck rubbing a block of paraffin wax at the joint edges. It protects the wood from taking up the glue.

I've never liked the rag method -- wet OR dry.

You're preaching to the choir ... Lew buys epoxy in 55 gal drums.

It's been around for a couple of years, dries clear.

Helps also to apply glue to the mortise, not the tenon. That way, the glue gets pushed down into the mortise and away from the shoulders. For blind tenons, make sure you cut the mortises a sixteenth or better deep to give the excess glue someplace to go, else the joint will lock up shy of full fit. Liquids can't be compressed.
