I've just been sanding the underside of my first stripped deck. I see the Titebond II is harder than the wood, so it complicates sanding. Worse is where there are excess amounts of glue (because, getting started, I was overly liberal) that accumulated against my plastic drip cover -- sanding heats it up, so it becomes gunky. Should be less of an issue for me, on the exterior.
