<p>One can minimize the glue escaping, by spreading the glue into a thin layer, using an acid brush.</p>
<p>Apply a small bead along the center of the intended joint, spread it out evenly, using the acid brush---</p>
<p>keep the glue a short distance from the edge of the joint.</p>

<p>Remove any glue, that may ooze out, with a wet rag or towel, before the glue starts to set.</p>

There are times when I don't use glue depending on the application. Generally I like to use glue, but assembling some things with glue makes the joint slippery and hard to keep aligned. Then there's the issue if you want to use stain on the completed item if your glue gets on the finish part it won't take the stain. As I said, the main obsticle is keeping the joint from slipping out of place from the slippery glue while trying to get the screws in.

Glue sometimes. Especially if it's something that will be used by toddlers or teenagers or large adults.<br />
<br />
If I foresee having to disassemble something to move it, I'll use a fastener that is designed to be taken apart and put back together without losing strength: bed brackets, T-nuts or similar items.

<p>I apply Gorilla Wood Glue with a brush on all Greg joints for added strength. As you said the Kreg screws act as mini internal clamps while the glue dries and the bond is complete.</p>

<p>Some of the time. It always depends on the type and size of the project or - in some instances - how lazy I am at the moment or how much time I have to make the item. I think common sense is the best approach.</p>
