Cherry Hutch

I just glued up a credenza top made of cherry and I finish sanded it with my Performax drum sander.  My sanding material was brand new when I started, but when I was done, I had circular lines of caked material on my drum.  I used Elmers yellow glue on the glue up.  Was this caked material from the glue?  If so, what kind of glue do you use on your projects?

Yes, the caked material is glue. The heat from the sanding process softens any trace amounts of glue which sticks to the abrasive. To avoid the problem I scrape all traces of glue from the panel prior to sanding. A sharp card scraper will quickly remove the dried glue.
