Project I'm working on today is held together with biscuits, which basically means it's nothing but butt joints. The butt joint's being reinforced by the loose tenons in the form of the biscuits. So, one of the things I'm concerned about is that, there's gonna be squeeze-out. You can probably see some glue residue already on the shelves I've already got in place. So, part of what that means is, glue selection. What I wanna do for projects like this is, keep the seam between the parts as invisible as possible. So the last thing I want is to have some big, fat, heavy glue line there that everybody can see. So, if you check the marketplace, one of the things you'll find is that, there are glues out there, like this one, that are more translucent than others. So one of the things that's gonna do is buy me a cloak of invisibility when I put these parts together, so that although it's end grain to face grain, no dado in there to hide it. That translucent glue is gonna do a great job of keeping that glue joint invisible, so that people don't know I've got glue in there. Make sure then that when you work on projects like this, where there's a great likelihood that your seam is gonna show, that you're using the right glue to keep that seam as invisible as possible, to make sure your project looks as good as possible.
Most of these video's are fantastic, This one really is not. Is it a commercial for tight bond or an actual tip? Dry fit the joint, tape the seam where glue will run out. Remove tape and no glue, any type glue. I would think that is a smarter way than to have to buy this product. Using this method will also prevent glue marks that would not show up until your finishing.
I have a 79" bi fold door an would like to know what project you recommend I can to with it.
The way I see it, there are lots of ways to solve problems. Sometimes the solution is in a product, sometimes the solution is shop-made. You've let me know that we need to do a video on low tech solutions for dealing with squeeze out.
Good idea. Couple of questions: Can finish be applied over glue squeezeout? How is the strength of the glue compared to yellow glue?
