When to stain?

[brianhr]

Is it best to stain before glueing, will the stain inhibit the glue in the same way as the final finish?

i glue up then stain the timber. i use titebond 111 ( 3 )

I think I would only stain before glueing up in situations where I had something like a fielded panel which might shrink and expose some unstained wood, but I would only stain the panel before glueing.

Cheers :wink:

I glue up first but very careful of glue spread - the excess glue will prevent proper staining.
