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.

Thanks, Jeff. I'll give epoxy a shot.

Epoxy doesn't like 45F.

Try to maintain at least 65F until the epoxy kicks.

BTW, you also want to clean with acetone first.
