I don't think the issue is tooth marks (there shouldn't be any). The
issue is the "polished surface". The glue has to have something to
bite into. A polished surface doesn't work. Try using Titebond on
glass.

How strong is a wood glue joint if both pieces have been shellaced first?
I wonder if the wood glue causes a slight swelling in doing its magic.
