Default Gluing cedar

Michael wrote:
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?

I have glued the cedar picket on occasion with good results. I have had
glue failures with oak face to plywood in temps not quite as cool as what
you were working in.
