i'm making some heart shaped boxes, and have to lay the edges of the hollowed out box body onto the flat face of the base of the box. i need to put enough glue on the edges of the wood to hold securely, obviously, but then i always end up with some glue contaminating the base. i wipe it off as best i can while it's still wet, but always end up with some difficult to remove dried glue near the contours of the heart box body, especially on the inside. anyone have an idea how i can make this clean-up easier, or avoid it altogether? perhaps some kind of sealer on the wood to keep glue from getting in the pores? i'm sure this kind of question has come up before, but...thanks, mike
