Old timer told me to stop using glue on pocket holes, and I thought he was crazy
I had this guy named Frank at a shop I worked at in Portland about 5 years ago. He kept saying glue in pocket holes just makes a mess and adds no strength if the screw is tight. I ignored him for like 6 months and glued every joint on a big kitchen cabinet set I built. Then I had to take one apart for a repair... the glue didn't save it from splitting anyway. Frank was right, I wasted so much time cleaning glue squeeze out. Has anyone else gotten advice from an older cabinetmaker that you brushed off at first?
