In Response To: Strip: Gluing revisited (Dennis)

: I know this has been discussed many times in the past but I would like to get
: your latest thoughts on gluing. Specifically, I would like to know: • What
: glue do you currently use and why?
: • What method do you use to apply the glue to your strips for bead and cove?
: Flat/beveled strips?
: • When and how do you clean up the excess glue?
: Thanks in advance for taking the time to reply.
: Dennis

Titebond II unless it's a really dark deck, then polyurethane, I just use the supplied tip on the glue bottle to apply. Immediately after gluing on the strip the excess/drips can be wiped off with a damp rag, faster than scraping/sanding.
