Glue stains appeared on veneer after first coat of poly. Can I sand it down again to erase them? Or should I just give up on woodworking/ life altogether? (lemmy.ca)

I always apply the first coat with a cloth so I can see where the glue wasn't fully sanded away. That way I can very quickly see where I'll need to spend some attention and not waste a bunch of effort where it isn't needed. once you get a few coats in you can't tell.
