I was reading another forum that was discussing glue-up techniques. This paragraph caught my eye: quote:One thing that you will encounter if you haven't done large glue ups is joint creep. The boards WILL slip around under clamping pressure. This becomes less of a problem with experience, but I keep a salt shaker handy and sprinkle a few grains on the surface at the ends just before I place them together. This keeps the boards from slipping when clamping pressure is applied and is totally harmless to the glue joint. Cabinet makers have been doing this as long as glue and salt has existed, I've seen some ancient references to the practice.
Does this sould like a good idea?
Anyone using this method?
