Glue Mark - should I remove it before oiling
Hi
So my first project is a blackwood table and it's been a long road, but the end is in sight.
I joined the boards using Titebond III glue but due to some work travel was in a rush and did not wipe the glue off as it set. After preliminary sanding it has left some slight pink marks. The table is flat after gluing (and it should be after I spend so long on those joints
Anyway, I can remove the pink marks by sanding but they seem fairly deep and I dont want to risk un - flattening the top. On the other hand I don't want to get to oiling it up and find the marks show at the final stage.... I have enough rework to do. SWMBO decided early on I needed to stain the table as she wanted it dark, in contrast to myself that just wanted it oiled. Then she found a picture of a similiar shaped table that was natural and oiled...you can guess the outcome.
So now I'll sand to 1000 and use burning oil to finish
I have attached some picture of the table top and glue marks to help with any diagnosis anyone want to suggest.
Thanks
Graeme

Get rid of all the glue marks or they'll be there for ever and for all to see.

Have to agree with Steve.
Glue marks don't accept any form of finish I have used in the same way as the timber does so, they will always be seen. Not sure of the timber but also being a user of TB III I have not seen pink before as a glue mark - yellowish/cream - yes - but not pink.
Having discovered scrapers only a couple of years ago and seeing how versatile they are - I would try them first rather than sanding.
Hope it helps, regards,
Bob

Thanks Guys
I was expecting that answer, but was hoping maybe for some magic solution.
The stain seems to have soaked in, so I'll have to do some heavy sanding. Hopefully, I won't end up with a divit and have to resand the whole top!
I appreciate your advice
