Elmers Ultimate Glue or Gorilla Glue - TIA
I have been using Elmers Ultimate glue on a project and I have found it expands and
leaves nasty glue marks on the outside of the finish project that I have been sanding off. In very tight corners it is most nearly impossible to sand, especially across the grain. With the old Elmers wood glue or white glue. I used to wipe it down with water and that would remove most, if not all of the glue so sanding would not be a problem and the wood would take a nice stain. Is there a way one can prevent or easily remove the extra residue of Ultimate glue or gorilla glue before it dries so I don't have the problems of sanding in tight corners? Does anyone have any special tricks up their proverbial sleeves? Thanks, Larry |

blue tape. saves a ton of time and better yet, saves you from some nearly impossible-to-remove glue squeeze out mess. Dave |

It's only real advantage is if you _must_ have a fully waterproof (not water-resistant) glue, otherwise yellow glues are as strong as or stronger than the wood itself (as is demonstrated that edge joints will hold and the material break rather than the joint itself). Besides the foaming and difficult cleanup, the open and clamping time for these is much longer than for yellow glues which slows down progress. So, unless there's a real purpose not otherwise served, I recomend going back to a regular wood glue. If you need the water resistance, look into Type II or Type III water solubles. |

Found it seriously wanting, especially in outdoor usages. For For my money, its TiteBond III for external usages and plastic resin glue for things that need a long open time. (Saw David Marks use a lot of plastic resin glue, now I know why) To date, I have not been disappointed in either. Also, both are much easier to clean up. |

What I use to remove excess glue from corners is just a scraper
designed to get into corners (They are usually are available in sets at most hardware and paint stores) being metal they are easy to clean off. If you have any excess that squeezed between the scraper and wood, try wrapping a solvent dampened rag around the scrapper and scrub a little.
