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. -
I edge jointed a length of Baltic birch once and it left the knives looking more suited for cutting bread than wood. Amazing how fast the glue wore away the steel. -
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. -

@h3nry - I am late in catching up. That is just a wonderful piece. I love the way the small amp fits inside. What a great niche for your music "stuff". Truly an inspiration. Folks like you are why I enjoy this craft so much.
