Default Annoying glue and finishing.

the one they ruin with stains and such, huh?


I've tried "taping the joints" countless times and generally end up
spending more time removing little blue bits of tape (now firmly glued
to the project by the squeeze out) from nooks and crannies before
finishing, then I did in building the project.

In short, I try to practice glue economy in the first place ... then
ditto on letting it dry, or almost dry, and using a chisel to remove any
squeeze out.

After all, the presence of squeeze out means you used too damn much glue ...
