A while back I posted a topic of the same name, found

To quote myself:
"When you glue up miters for trim or molding, what adhesive do you use?

It seems to me that if you used a putty type glue you could put just a
little extra on the 45s so that it squeezed out enough to fill any gap
that may be present. Then you could sand off the excess when it dries
and not have to worry about puttying it. Anyone do this? Or do you
all have *perfect* miters every time?"


Reading through this month's PopMech, I stumbled across an ad for a
product called Polyseamseal which appears to be the putty type glue I
was looking for.

Those putty type glues have virtually no mechanical strength and are
practically useless for fine joinery. Sanding could be a problem too, IME
they take days/ weeks to go anywhere near hard, if at all. I reach for white
or yellow glue, maybe UF for oily hardwoods. A good 96T blade in a well set
up quality mitre saw (Makita LS1013 for me) is a *big* help. And there's
always the nice, sharp, fine set block plane for those "blonde moments" we
sometimes all have when cutting.
