And the answer to your problem is
WAXALIT

Paste wax consistency - dries WHITE so you can see it.
Apply with a que tip around joints and do your glue up.
When the glue has dried - pop off the squeeze out - with
your fingernail. Glue won't stick to this stuff. Then
with another que tip and some alcohol, get rid of the
WAXALIT.

Michael Fortune did a lot of spindle chairs and was
spending more time removing squeezed out glue
than making the chairs. Found WAXALIT and solved
his squeeze out problem.

Availablt from Lee Valley. Small can goes a LONG ways.
