I have a question about a table top glue-up.
I glued (using Titebond II) and clamped two boards together for a small table top. As I tightened the clamps I noticed that a half inch long portion in the center of the joint showed no glue squeeze out. Fearing that the joint was starved for glue I quickly separated the boards (within 30 seconds) and applied more glue to the entire length of the joint and clamped the boards together again.
I later scraped the glue squeeze out away and the joint looked very good. So, is this re-glued joint as strong as a normal glue joint? Should I be concerned about the long-term integrity of the joint?
Thanks in advance.
