Interesting, the acetone wipe works for teak, wonder why not IPE?

Anyway, most of the time I just give the acetone wipe lip service.


it works ok but the joint is better without it. it is one of the urban
myths of woodworking. one of the mags even tested it and found the
same thing I did the joint was not as strong when it was used. not a
huge difference only a small one.
