Glue creep: What is it? Why does it happen? How do you prevent it?
Reason I ask is: I've noticed that some (not all) of my projects have developed a little tiny ridge in the glue lines over time (weeks to months). Feels like glue squeeze-out, but on a microscopic level, if you can imagine that. It's very easy to knock off with #0000 steel wool, and the jointery is still smooth/level, so I don't think it's all due to wood movement. I don't want to have to go around buffing all my projects after I've finished them!!! :-?
I've been using either plane yellow wood glue or titebond II for my projects.
