How long until yellow glue dries?
This is mostly a "curiosity" question. My schedule allows only brief
encounters with woodworking, so anything I glue up tends to stay clamped well past the recommended time; several days, on average. But I'm finally assembling the (prefinished) parts of the second pair of bookcases and I noticed something this morning. The shelves are in dadoes, and I've been assembling the bookcases face down. I applied some shiny packing tape to the work surface under the areas where glue might drip out. That kept the work from adhering to the bench, but left some hardened glue in a couple of spots (on the first two bookcases). That wasn't too much of a problem. I scraped it down flush before I attached the face frames, and the areas were small. I glued up another unit last night at about 8 p.m. I decided to have a look at it this morning, at 7 a.m. I removed the clamps and had a look underneath. Sure enough, there was squeeze-out, but it was a lot softer than I would have imagined after 11 hours. Is this possibly because it was relatively sealed in by the non-porous tape? Even some that had collected in an exposed corner was pretty soft. The temperature in the garage would likely have been in the low 60s. |
