You might just get away with it if the final result only needs the
surfaces to have a nodding acquaintance with each other. If, however,
they are supposed to be entwined forever, not the best idea. Of course,
sanding it down is likely to help a bit.

For example, when assembling some flatpack furniture where the thing is
actually held together by screws (or similar), and the glue is only to
be a minor gap filler - it would probably be OK.

onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

Depends on your definition of OK.

That's saying the square root of F.A though.

What doesn't?
