Glueing Kerf advice

[Iamdusty]

I am currently doing a box project that requires cutting a pattern of cutouts on several 1 1/4" layers of wood and then glueing these layers together to create the box for a jewelry box with drawer slots. To do the sawing as instructed, I then have to glue up the kerf's and clamp. Getting the glue into the kerf is the challenge.
I assume a syringe and needle might work, but the glue is quite thick.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks, Dale

My first thought is the glue I use would be water based so I vould wipe off any that squeezes out, not worrying too much about excess. I'm curious to see what the reply will be from those "in the know". Hmmm ...

Saw kerfs, meaning that you will be using a table saw to cut dado's? It's difficult to visualize what you are saying without actually seeing the project. I'm going to go with regular wood glue like titebond II extend which gives you an extra couple minutes of working time. It will go through a syringe.

Jeff, thanks for the advice on the glue. I know it sounds confusing and I haven't figured out how to include a photo. The kerf is created by scroll saw cuts, which begin at the outside of the wood and go around three drawer cut-outs, so the kerf (three of them) is very small, thus the difficulty getting the glue into the kerf.
The pattern I am using is from the "Box Making Projects" book by Gary McKay, if any of you have access to it.
Thanks again, Dale

Dale:

I am very sure it is just the media of this board,

But I swear, from your description it really reads like you are talking about a Bandsaw box project. And you are gluing up the kerf where the bandsaw blades moves into the interior cuts for each of the opening of the three drawers.

Again, this is just from my reading and I could be very wrong.

Gary uses techniques similar to Bandsaw Box techniques on the scroll saw to eliminate the need to disguise a blade entry hole.

I've had the most luck applying a little glue to both sides of a piece of paper, and sliding the paper through the saw kerf. That pushed enough glue in to the kerf that it held well.

My advice exactly. I've used that technique many, many times. In fact I used it last night to fix an accidental slip of a gouge while carving. You can't even tell where I slipped.

Phil and Bob, you have it exactly right. It is a kerf created by the scrollsaw but just as Phil described the band saw box.
Bob and Jim, I will try the glue on paper trick. I knew some of you would be able to tell me what to do. What kind of glue have you found works best with that method?
Thanks so much to all of you,
Dale
