: Question, Bill. I've only used polyurethane glue in pegging SOF
: parts. Did as instructions said, and wetted pegs first. But, in
: stripping, wetting seems impractical. What am I missing?

Polyurethane glues set with moisture, usually from the wood. Most woods used for stripping though are very dry, so the edges are wet prior to using the glue, no biggy with a strip, just an extra step. A quick pass with a damp sponge will do it.
