gee-dub Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Yep. I pre-finish anything that will be difficult to get to or involves a floating panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronn W Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 I have a project right now that will be stained. I try to avoid staining since my biggest fear is that some glue will squeeze out of a joint and even If I wipe it or scrape it I will have a spot where the stain won't take. So I an going to stain before gluing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 1 hour ago, Mike. said: I prefinish as much as possible. It makes gluing easier and it prevents me from rushing the finish. When I finish after assembly I am always in a hurry. I know what you mean, trying to stain or put down a top coat on an entire piece in one go can be a race against the clock. I think I need to get into pre-finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elroy Skimms Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 When pre-finishing panel doors or mortise & tenon joinery, do you protect the tongues/tenons from the top coat or do you use a glue that bonds to the finish? I've used Roo Glue for pre-finished cabinet carcasses but it doesn't dry clear. For nice furniture projects, I've gone back to not pre-finishing because I don't trust Titebond to adhere well when both parts are pre-finished. Is there some other glue I should be looking at? -E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodger. Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I do some pre-finishing, sometimes, but I normally don't. I will if I know I will be in a tight spot after assembly, but otherwise I like to reserve the right to sand and touch up the piece before i apply finish.

If you choose "NOT TO" pre-stain or color the door panel. I have used compressed air through my air gun (blower) while staining to force the color between the panel and rail/stiles. Plus this trick helps even the color in the corners of the door panel which tend to become heavy with stain. If your using an oil finish as your color on white wood. Same thing above applies. I always use masking tape to cover all surfaces that are to be glued while pre-finishing. -Ace- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
