I'm giving my new DeWalt biscuit jointer a workout.

Two more things I discovered: 1) one has to work quickly or the PVA
glue starts to set up and it becomes very difficult to adjust the fit,
2) one has to apply a liberal amount of glue or the joints are NOT
strong.


Look for a glue with a longer open time. Titebond III is supposed to have
this feature. Reportedly, some white, rather than yellow, wood glues also
allow more working time. I've used Titebond Original Extend with good
results, assuming no abnormal water resistance is required.

Low tack tape (blue or green painter's type) applied before gluing helps
with squeezeout clean up, so you don't fear using adequate glue.
