I haven't seen one of Mac's Musings in a while, so humbly offer up this
installment of Kevin's Conundrums instead. I'm stumped. When glue is
in the bottle, it doesn't dry. I presume because of the lack of
significant contact with air. You smear it on a piece of wood and slap
another piece on it, and presto, it dries. But there's no air there
either! What's up w/that? Magic wood fairies or something?

Hello Kevin,

An interesting thought. I'm hardly an expert on glue; however, I've
found that if glue is not spread thin enough between two pieces of
wood, it may not dry well either. I suspect that the wood extracts the
moisture from the thin coat of glue and allows it to set up.
