I think I've done a good job making smooth fillets. I think I've picked up all the excess glue before it has dried.
The first white undercoat usually brings attention to all the flaws.
On the left is an uneven glue fillet.
On the right is after careful sanding with some older 4000 grit.
You can sand yellow wood glue.
Sand under a bright light. Sanding dulls the gloss white. Low areas that need more sanding will still be glossy.
Here's a noticeable glue booger near the leading edge of a fin.

In 48 hours, another white undercoat and probably some more sanding.
Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteSo is yellow wood glue preferable to white wood glue in that it is easier to sand smooth?
Hi Unknown,
DeleteI've never compared sanding between white and yellow glues. I would think wood glue would be easier to sand. It seems to dry harder than white glue. When laminating wood you always seem to have some squeeze-out that needs to be sanded off.
