Glue Cleanup in Tight Spots

Glue squeeze-out can be difficult to clean up in tight spaces such as beads and grooves because you can't wipe the area very effectively with a damp rag nor insert a chisel to slice away the hardened glue afterward. I've found that a good approach is to clean up the wet glue with a stiff-bristle artist's brush and a soft-bristle toothbrush.

I begin by using the artist's brush, pushing it torward to scoop up the majority ot the wet glue. (Short, stilt bristles work best; trim them it necessary.) I clean the brush often during the process, and squeeze ott the excess water. I then tollow up by quickly scrubbing the area with the clean, wet toothbrush. A "tult-end" toothbrush works best tor this kind ot detail work. The trick here is to keep rinsing the brushes with clean water so you don't le ave a glue wash on the surface. And don't use them too wet; you don't want to slop a lot ot water into the joint. PW
