After learning the epoxy has enough gap-filling properties to make a great edge joint with “factory” edges, we decided to see if Elmer’s Glue Max could also do the trick. James Wright of Wood by Wright has been testing glues for years and has some nice things to say about the Elmer’s Glue Max.
Spoiler alert: It works great.
We don’t use Elmer’s much, so this is good information to know. And if you are a beginning woodworker who doesn’t have the tools to make flawless edge joints, this glue can take away some of the worry.

Are those factory edges square? I’ve never seen ones that aren’t rounded.
I want to try with regular wood glue and see what happens!
They are factory edges and they are rounded.
