Default Elmers Ultimate Glue or Gorilla Glue - TIA


"Happiness is" Happiness wrote in message
...
I have been using Elmers Ultimate glue on a project and I have found it
expands and
leaves nasty glue marks on the outside of the finish project that I have
been sanding off.

In very tight corners it is most nearly impossible to sand, especially
across the grain.

With the old Elmers wood glue or white glue. I used to wipe it down with
water and that would
remove most, if not all of the glue so sanding would not be a problem and
the wood would take
a nice stain.

Is there a way one can prevent or easily remove the extra residue of
Ultimate glue or gorilla glue
before it dries so I don't have the problems of sanding in tight corners?

Does anyone have any special tricks up their proverbial sleeves?

Thanks,

Larry

Don't use too much, use blue tape to collect the squeeze out. Polyurethane
is a very good glue and has its uses. Do not assume it's expansion
characteristics will fill a poorly made joint, it will fill it, but it has
virtually no strength when used this way. I use it on projects that will be
exposed to weather or dampness and if I need the added open/working time
polyurethane glue provides.
