What happens here
After routing, use a leaf blower to thoroughly clear all sawdust and wood chips from the routed groove and the surrounding area. This ensures a clean surface for adhesion. Next, use a heat gun to carefully apply heat along the V-groove. This step helps to dry any moisture in the wood and prepare the surface for optimal glue adhesion, ensuring a strong and lasting bond.
Goal: Ensure the V-groove is clean and ready for glue
