I'm wondering if I need to account for how much space glue takes up in a typical pocket hole joint. I'm about to cut some stretchers for a cabinet and will join them to panels that have already been finished. I plan to use Roo glue. So I'll have a joint that has the cut end of the plywood stretcher which might absorb some glue, butted to the finished panel which shouldn't absorb much. I want to make sure that the width of the carcass is the same on the top and bottom, so if the two glue lines took up a significant amount of space, I would just cut the stretchers that much shorter. Is this something I need to be concerned about?
