Varnish/ gluing wood order

[evansd2]

What kind of glue makes the smallest mess with tight fits?

Two glue tips: tiny bottles to carefully apply, and a drinking straw to clean up. Tiny bottles stop the mess before it starts. You can apply glue exactly where you want it in very precise amounts. Drinking straws scoop the squeeze-out up before it gets anywhere. Many of my boxes are glueups and using these tricks I get good results. A recent example:
