Although I've gotten much better at controlling glue squeeze-out (waiting for it to skin over before scraping it away with a chisel, for example), I do on occasion still get some glue on my projects.
For example, I'm assembling some drawers and in a couple of corners there is some glue-smear that will interfere with the finish. The material is BB plywood, in this instance.
A scraper doesn't seem to be that much help, especially because the angle is such that I can get a good purchase on it. I have an orbital sander that, when the pad or disc hit the corner, tend to damage the perpendicular surface. I have a finish sander that maybe orbits too widely and makes one heckuva racket when it contacts the corner.
So I was thinking one of these finish sanders, like the little Ryobi Cat or something similar. Has anyone used a detail sander for cleanup of glue into a corner? Any advice, recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
