I saw a video on glueing 3 one inch boards together, face to face to make one 3" thick piece. He used normal procedures, except he sprinkled salt on the glue surfaces to prevent slipping while clamping. (I've never heard doing this.) I could see where grit of the salt could keep slipping down. He claimed it nearly stopped all slippage and the salt dissolved as the glue dried. Seems like it could work, I wonder if the salt would have any effect on holding power. Anyone have any info on this procedure?

Gluing 1/8th†thick by 2†wide panels to cover edge grain on some glued up legs and found out how slippery glue can be. I think I read somewhere that to minimize the slippage, you could sprinkle a bit of sanding grit or household salt on the glued piece. I tried the salt. It may not be to everybody’s taste, but it does work as advertised. Bon appetit.
