While applying my zpoxy this afternoon I was suddenly alarmed by several "dry" spots. By their position, mostly along the binding/body seams that it is Titebond residue. 
This body has been sanded to 400 and none of these spots can be felt or seen with the naked eye 
I also wiped this down with mineral spirits to look for imperfections before ever starting the pore filling. 
Anyone ever experience this? Any words of guidance on what I should do next? Thanks |

I haven't experienced this, but I would scrape the area in qustion making sure to remove a very light shaving in that area and re-seal. |

Thanks for the tips on removing the residue but what will that do to my zpoxy filler? Can I just apply a fresh coat on top of what's left of the zpoxy after scraping or is all this zpoxy going to have to come off? |

You can always add more, Chris...it won't be a problem. It's more important to remove the glue residue now or you'll regret it forever! |

I had the same problem. Scraped and refilled. Still there, did it again, that worked. Just for good measure, I sanded all the back and sides, not back to bare wood, and gave them a thinned coat 50/50 DNA and Zpoxy. Looks great. |

Chris, it's glue alright. Scraping or sanding until they're gone is the only way to get rid of them. They will look just like they do now under finish if you don't get rid of them. Now is the time to do it... you'll be glad you did. I use naptha to get them to show up. Sometimes wiping with water will make them show. Long |
