I am half way through making a project that I had to leave for a couple of months due to a minor inconvience. I had glued up the top of the piece with Titebond and now that I have come back to it it has moved so that the join lines are visible - obviously I should have sealed it prior to leaving it but didn't have time.
What are the general "rules" about joining timber for tops as to the time it is joined and sealing it.
Sugar Gum is a very hard timber and is fairly oily - I did wipe each join with turps immediately prior to joining (used biscuits) - should I have used epoxy resin? I thought that epoxy resin would dry too hard and therefore cause more problems- any thoughts?
