Will,
When I glued it up was in the middle of winter (very cold here near
Lake Ontario), but we experienced a couple of days of warm (above 60F)
weather so I took my chance and glued up. The harsh cold that followed
may have caused stress. The glue was brand new. I may have clamped
too hard.

I'm thinking about either taking a syringe or a small pump with a
needle that is used to inflate balls and tires and putting glue into
it, inserting the needle in the crack, and then pumping in the glue and
then clamp. Another thought is to drill a small hole from the side or
bottom and insert the glue enough to spread it around and then
re-clamp.

I am about 70 KM north of Lake Ontario so I understand. Brrr! We get
large temp and humidity swings as well. During the winter my wooden
planes closed up on the blades. Had to widen the mouths. 20% humidity as
I recall.

My recommendation is to take the other posters recommendations very
seriously.

Rip it down the glue line and do a complete re-glue. An afternoons work
and you should be out of the problem. I suspect that it will not clamp
tight right now. You can test to see. Never had any luck myself with
what you are suggesting. Also -- when you separate the pieces you may
find that a piece is twisted -- then the problem would be obvious.

If you can see a gap in an otherwise beautiful table in a couple of
years it will just p**s you off no end. LOL

Maybe George will also say something -- he seems to know what he is
doing... :-)
