At Kreg, our position has always been that glue is completely optional - which stands in stark contrast with other wood joinery techniques. However, we also suggest that if you want the strongest joint possible, adding glue is the way to go. The great news is that if you do use glue, there's no need for hours of clamp-ups since the screws act as mini internal clamps while the glue dries.

I always use glue. dampen both pieces with a wet rag, apply glue to both pieces, even the glue with my finger, screw it together and wipe the excess off with wet rag.
Almost always for the whole piece and always for the carcass. The only exception (and depending on the project), I like to do pre-assembly/dryfit. Occassionaly, i'll put together the whole piece without glue to ensure i've got everthing the way i want it, then i knock it down and do it all over again with yellow woodglue.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
