Default box joint testing

One of the questions nagging me is, the amount of pressure used on a
glued joint. Is it really possible to squeeze out too much glue and
render the project worthless a few years down the road?


Depends on the glue. For epoxy, definately so. For common
yellow woodworking glue, no, at least not with any kind of
hand-tightened clamp. For other kinds of glues, I dunno.

It is, of course, very possible to not put enough glue in
the joint in the first place, which would have the symptom
you describe.
