I've started using Tried and True Original on my post and rung chairs along with Old Brown Glue. In the past, I used BLO and Titebond Liquid Hide Glue. I've noticed that the finish is lighter around my joints now. I do scrub well with toothbrush and hot water after assembly. I really like the finish, but I need to figure out a solution for this problem. I'm not sure if it's the glue, the finish, or a combination. Any suggestions?
