Gluing 'pre oiled' wood. Urgent advice please

[Janski]

View media item 20667
Hello,

I've had some advice before on this unit I'm making pictured here and am looking for a little more please....

I have cut all the wood (oak ply) and drilled all the pilot holes for the dowels. The person I'm making it for now wants to danish oil the wood tonight before I assemble it tomorrow.

I'm now worrying that it will affect the performance of the wood glue. Am I right or will it be fine? I've never used danish oil so I don't know how it feels when dried. I have asked him to avoid getting into the pilot holes...

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Wood glue will not take over oil and oil will not take over excess glue.

you really have to glue and assemble first. And frankly applying danish oil is just as easy to do after assembly than before so just tell them to wait.

Thank you. I've used this post to put him off!

As i mentioned the oil won't take over set glue so be tidy and wipe any off while its wet

I'll be sure to do that,

thanks
