I'm surprised a gent of your expertise is leaving yourself open to hacksters that may appear to shoot from the hip,
Cannot comment on Rubio as I haven't spoken to him in the pub lately....
I do buff a lot of my work and often mask over the potential glue line(s)... I've had hit and miss success depending on glue used.
Recently I have ignored glue lines and after the "finish" I only use CA. You haven't mentioned the full size of your project though if your a musichead, it may not be a mini... though even if you did, I couldn't really give foolproof technical advice. Nevertheless, in my limited experience, I have found that CA has been my best salvation.... I stay clear of epoxy glues as I have it oozing out of every orifices the days following.
Are there dominos, biscuits, pocketholes, dovetails and a few other buildings features in the mix?
I have found that CA will hold past all my requirements, however, I have no idea what it's half-life is, but I'm just hoping it will outlive me. I have applied it on large surfaces, but my thought of large may differ with your project.
If your finish sticks to the surface, I again recommend CA, if it doesn't I recommend dowels/dominos/biscuite/prayers.
After all that BS above... I have found that CA will beat the Beall Buffing system, tung oil, danish oil and Min-Wax WOP....
Maybe someone may actually offer some expert advice.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
