your recommended amount is still far higher than needed. cracks me up when i see the amount people use. your first line was all you needed, not the extra lines. i guess the glue companies like you to do this, as they sell more glue. almost as bad as the american obsession with gluing both pieces (retired furniture maker).
Those exact thoughts did cross my mind. I am sure it could have been done with less glue but I didn't want to look too stingy. As for glue on both sides, agreed. Thank you for watching.
I apply thin layer to both surfaces and let it soak into the wood for minute, especially for end grain. This is to help assure no air will be trapped between glue and wood. Clamp immediately so it sets with minimal gap. Zero squeeze out is ideal, but cannot be achieved because one cannot assure sufficient coverage everywhere without some waste.
agreed. But do not forget to apply glue twice to end grain. First cover the surface generously, and allow the glue to soak in. Wait 20 to 30 minutes. then re-coat and join the pieces applying clamps.
Even at 1/3 application, it still looks like you used too much. I'm guessing that you cringe when you see other wood workers use way too much, especially when they apply glue to both sides. And thanks for NOT using your finger to spread the glue!
You are reading my mind. I also thought it could have been done with less glue but I didn't want to make a stingy video. As for glue on both sides, the thought was also there but during editing I figured it would be overstating the obvious. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching. I am considering doing a separate video on end grain sometime. I agree on the squeeze out.

Thank you. I think end grain is worth a video on it's own. I am considering doing that some time.
Once clamped, a thin line of squeeze out is maximal. Anything more than that is literally wasted.
Thank you for watching. I agree.

finger is the easiest method to spread glue.
