How I learned the hard way about glue drying times
Last month, I landed a big order for custom kitchen cabinets. The client wanted them installed in two weeks, so I rushed the glue-ups. I used a fast-setting glue, but even then, I did not let it cure fully before sanding. The joints moved a bit, and I had to fix three drawer fronts. This added two full days to the job and cut into my pay. Now, I always wait for the glue to set completely, no matter how tight the schedule. I even check the moisture in my shop to see how long things will take. A bit of waiting now can stop big problems later.
