We've all experienced the frustration of wiping stain across our
woodworking project only to find light spots where glue was left on
the wood. The glue seals the wood's grain preventing the stain from
penetrating. Quite often even the most vigorous sanding won't take
care of the problem.
Because of this many woodworkers prefer to
selectively stain their project
before gluing. Care should be taken though because glue may not stick
to the stained surfaces. Because this may result in glue joints that
fail this tip should only be used if you're sure the project will not
be effected. The final finish can be applied to the assembled
project.
