Just came out of the closet. No, not that closet. Phones were going crazy and sirens were going off, warning of tornadoes. Luckily it blew thru without a tornado or substantial damage. Gonna grab a beer and a cigar instead of a chainsaw and blue tarps! -
Uncured poly will not be harder than wood, but will be gummy, loading cutting edges with something akin to pitch. This will introduce heat, and bog things down. I won’t say don’t do it, but will repeat to proceed with caution. -

As I understand it, glue is much harder than wood, so the glue lines wear the blades. Which is why you're not supposed to joint plywood edges. Carbide is harder than HSS, so may do better, but still glue is best avoided. -
