Apology not boaty but certainly woody and I feel this is where the expertise is on this.
I am inserting new sections in three softwood 5 bar gates having cut out rotten wood. I am using a mixture of lap joints and scarf joints and Titebond for the glue and pinning the joints with 8mm beech wood dowels when the joint has set. I try and not get too much glue down the holes so as to not get a "hydraulic lock" at the bottom of the hole but is there any particular correct way of applying the glue before bunging in the dowel?
