Thread: Polyurethane glue under NC Lacquer

We use PU glue all the time at work for furniture.

Masking up the end of the rail and the leg around where the rail will be with tape helps a lot with the mess. You'll also find that there's a "sweet spot" during the curing of the glue where the foam is stiff, but not fully hardened. If you peel the masking tape off during this time, the foam will come away from the join easily and almost totally cleanly and any leftovers can be removed with a sharp chisel. Once it's fully set, a light sand should be all that's needed to clean up any remaining dark patches.

Once PU sets it's non-reactive and you should be able to use any finish you like.

Thanks for that reply. When I do the final glue-up I will take your advice and tape around the joints.

I will try to clean up the excess foam off my test joint later and probably will put some NC Lac on to test if the glue is visible.
