: Yes--the moist wood shouldn't affect yellow glue too much. Hit them with the
: heat gun after glued and clamped and you'll not only dry the wood, but
: also cure the glue and really lock things down.

You may, in fact, get a benefit from the moist wood. Yellow glue, Titebond and others, are water soluble and the moisture will tend to dilute it and wick it into the wood just a tad easier. Of course, there are limits... You probably don't want the wood dripping wet to where it totally washes the glue out or dilutes it to a point where it's bonding will be affected.

: Hit it with heat right away if you want. It's not like there's a needed wait
: time between clamping and drying.

: You're going to get along just fine here, Mike!

Hmmmmmmm!! And this coming from one of the best/uh..worst addicts in the lot. ???
