I have glued up a surface and need to plane it. Does anybody know if I need
to use a hand scraper or hand plane to clear the little glue globs before I
run it through my DeWalt Portable planer? I'd rather sharpen a plane blade
than replace a set of planer knives.
BTW The surface is Maple and Padduck. Using it for a tray on my boat. Boats
usually use a combination of teak and holly for the cabin soles. I wanted
something a little different.

Leon,
Please splain.

Scrape it off first. No sense in wearing the blades unnecessarily.

Probably not any worse than TBII.. But be careful if you sand the two as the
Padauk will bleed over to the Maple.

Sanding produces scratches in the wood. Also it produces dust. The dust
from the Padauk will get embedded in the Maple. A scraper or hand plane
help to prevent this.

Humor. Irony. Unexpected blending of incompatible concepts. ("I wish I'd
have thought of that.")
I didn't have to clean my monitor when I read it, but I did quickly move my
hand over my mouth. ;-)

I always scrape off what I can, but I have run TB III through the planer OK.

Definately try to remove it first. I use a scraper usually. If I knew I
was going to run it through a planer after glue up, I would just wipe away
the squeezed out glue with a wet sponge while it was still wet.
