In Response To: Strip: gluing strips (Brian H)

: Can anyone with experience tell me if it is better to leave the excess glue
: between strips to set up and scrape it all off when finished or try and
: wipe up the glue after each strip is placed. I am worried about glue
: staining the wood and being noticeable under the glass Thanks

I've noticed that when scraping off the little lumps of hardened glue I occasionally pull up some little pieces of cedar. After realizing I am likely to damage the wood if I let the glue dry I started to wipe the excess off when it's tacky.
