In reply to Darby Brown. I have a small paint scraper that I have sharpened and scrape where the glue spots are and then a quick sanding with some 120 grit sandpaper. This seems to work well. This way you are not reworking your whole surface. Good luck

Love the idea for the hardened glue. The last thing I want to do is to ruin my planer and jointer blades.

Thanks for the tips about the importance of removing the glue. I understand now why when refinishing projects I had a light spot that wouldn’t take the stain. I am so glad to know how to find left behind glue.

In reply to Johnnie Johnson.

You should be able to find something in the world of carbide insert tooling. Typical planer inserts are 14-15mm, which is pretty small for this application. I found these that are more appropriately sized: https://amzn.to/3SYE8Hb . You might be able to find something better if you look around a bit more.

Thanks,

In reply to Janna Daley. Do you shellac the wis before assembly or after it is clamped together? What does the typo 'dry &amp' mean? Thanks

MY PROBLEM IS A ROOKIE MISTAKE GONE WORSE. I HAD TO PUT A RED OAK TABLE PROJECT ON HOLD FOR 6 WEEKS AND WHEN I LEFT IT I HAD GLUED UP THE TOP AND HAD THOUGHT I HAD CLEANED UP THE GLUE SQUEEZE OUT. WHEN I GOT BACK TO WOKING ON THE TOP I SANDED DOWN TO 220 GRIT AND PROCEEDED TO APPLY A MEDIUM OAK STAIN. THE NEXT MORNING THERE WERE TWO AREAS THAT STUCK OUT LIKE SORE THUMBS WHERE THE GLUE HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY CLEANED UP. THERE IS TO OVERCOAT ON IT YET SO WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO FIX IT? I WOULD THINK I WILL NEED TO COMPLETELY START OVER WITH ROUGH SAND THE ENTIRE TOP TO CLEAN UP THE GLUE RESIDUE AND THEN SAND DOWN TO THE 220 AND RESTAIN IT. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
