I want to prefinish the inside of some cabinet parts before assembling. Seems logical to me that I can use water based glue (Titebond) over top of a water based finish …. or not? I am using water based varathane (Fletco).
Should I mask off the glue areas or does it matter?
Thanks … Ray

The waterborne finsih will seal the surface and pores of the wood. This will prevent the adhesive from penetrating the wood and developing a good adhesion and strength. Tape off the areas that will get adhesive.
Thanks Howie ... I think I kew that but got hung up on the water to water thing. Mask it off I will!
