: One thing to consider is the colour change that can occur in the
: wood with some glues and woods. For instance the glue joints
: between redwood strips using Titebond II will turn Dark Maroon
: almost black. This can bee seen in the picture below. The lack
: of dark lines is where I did not put enough glue that it squared
: out... Time will tell if it cracks and turns white from bad glue
: joints...

I'll be using redwood in the next build. I've used TBII for the previous three strippers in cedar with no problems. What's the right glue for redwood, assuming the black lines are a problem?
