Gluing cedar

I made some test finger joints out of cedar and glued them last night. I hand-planed the joint today to see how it looked and it failed! The temps went to 45 last night. The glue is relatively new. I didn't clamp it but you had to wriggle in the piece because the joint was fairly tight. I've rarely worked with cedar. Is it resistant to yellow wood glue?

It's an oily wood. Try cleaning with Acetone first, or using epoxy.
