    Thanks wazkelly,
    I finally got rid of the glue make by using a hair dryer to soften the glue and lightly scrape the area with a blade.

    I know I have read something about it, but I can’t remember a technique to repair the excess glue that makes the stain not stick on the veneer.
    Thanks for any help!

    So it doesn’t matter to which of the posts I am inserting the ground wire?
