I have been looking for an answer for this question:-

"How do I check for glue spots?"

I have read threads that promote the use of a solvent based liquid...turps, metho. I read others that say use only water.

I do note that both schools of thought advocate only a damp wipe.....not a soaking.

I am going to do a spalted veneer build next and I was wondering what is really the suggested way to find glue squeeze out and excess gobs on a veneer top....oh and to find glue around a double bound body.

As per my most recent builds.....a natural finish will be my choice....maybe gloss tru-oil over the top.

And then.....how do I deal with the glue on a very very thin veneer.....down the seam in the middle and inside the edge of binding.

Your ideas, and risks will be gratefully received. Thank You.
