|  lantern1 I have a simple question I think. When finishing a fretwork clock, can I glue the pieces together after dipping in the finish. Or do I glue first? |

|  glue first -- most finishes won't adhere to glue.

| If you use lacquer, it does a good job of disguising CA glue that seeps out of a joint... Bob

Does this apply to things dunked in BLO/mineral spirits, or just to gloss finishes?

| Ian -Bob to be honest I really don't rember- I have used BLO a couple of times but didn't find it to my likeing so I went back to poly . I do know I can't get squit to adhere to anything I have any type of finish on - that is with all glues not just one. I have to glue first or sand a spot or two on the piece that I need joined . glue won't adhere to most paints or stains either.I have mentioned before that I have discovered the most wonderful way to bring out the grain and put a undistructable finish on my projects. I use clear concrete sealer. It woks beautifully and really makes the grain jump out .just be sure and use in a well ventalated area.

|  Lantern1, I made this clock a few years ago, I finished the wood first then used "Aleene's" Tacky glue, the one in the brown container. I have had no problems with it coming apart. I finished it with 4 coats of Formby's satin tung oil.
