Is there an easy fix or do I need to take it apart and scrape the glue off, thickness and reglue?

You know we love pics, Mark. Can't quite follow what you mean. (Might just be me, I'm a bit slow.)

The first bench I glued up was rough sawn oregon; as a result of not smoothing the gluing surfaces there was not a very good glue joint eg; a lot of daylight through the joints. I'm resigned to resawing the glue joints and that will give me better matching surfaces: only 12 pieces not too bad.
I'll probably work on that in a couple of days
So if someone has an easier solution I'm all ears!!

Unfortunately there's no easy fix for something like that.
