Only until he finishes the work. (Then you can see where he smeared
wet glue all over the place with the wet rag.) I prefer to pre-finish
pieces before glueup to prevent that from happening, let alone
showing. Camera flashes make it 10x more noticeable, too.

Personally, I like to make sure my joinery is bad enough that after
glue-up. I have to sand past the glue, past the defects, and deep into
the new patina I'm creating.... Usually works good enough:-)
