bridgman Posted July 2, 2022 #1 Posted July 2, 2022 A readers quick tip in the March/April, 2022, Fine Woodworking magazine suggests using UV light to detect misplaced glue smudges, including Titebound, before finishing. It appears some glues are made to glow,from UV light and therefore detectable. A UV flashlight seems to be sufficient. Have not tried it, seems simple.

Maury S Posted July 2, 2022 #3 Posted July 2, 2022 A source is Luthiers Musical instrument glue. Used it for years. A black light shows all the smears that need to be rinsed off.

catopower Posted July 2, 2022 #4 Posted July 2, 2022 I bought some UV cure glue off of Amazon, which included a little UV flashlight to cure the glue. Not expensive for the set, less than $20. Though I didn't end up using the UV cure glue for anything yet, the flashlight showed the Titebond residue on a model very well. All in all, a VERY useful tip – enough to where I really need to pass this along! mtaylor, Canute and thibaultron 3 Clare Hess He's a -> "HE" Current Builds HMS Wolf, 1754 - Shipyard Laser Cut Kit Kitamaebune - Japanese Coastal Trade Ship, 18th/19th Centuries - Woody Joe Kit Atakebune - Japanese Sengoku Period Warship - Woody Joe Kit
