I just spread the glue evenly, and clamped it. I did have to keep an eye
on things as I tightened the clamps, but other than that, I didn't use any
tricks. The sliding wasn't that bad with Excel (poly) glue.
The worst joint had one side about 1/16" off, but I had made the boards
large enough so that I had some leeway. After gluing, planing to size
wasn't tough. I trimmed to length after gluing.
Maybe I just got lucky?
I guess I'll find out when I try to do the benchtop the same way...
