Check your joinery for glue spots


When it's time to begin sanding a project that you intend to finish, make sure to check your joinery before starting to sand! Some lacquer thinner rubbed onto your piece with a cloth will soak in, but not where there's glue, like on that small light spot toward the bottom of the joint in the picture. You can scrape the glue away with your cabinet scraper or a chisel, and then check it again with lacquer thinner to be sure it's all gone. You're saving yourself some trouble later on by doing this!
