Salt, as it dissolves into the glue. But I imagine a couple of sand grains would be fine, as long as you keep it away from the visual area, since sanding might bring it out and scratch the surface

Thanks, this is a neat tip I would never have tried

Thoughts on the video below? It seems like it weakens the joint a bit per his findings. I've never done it myself (I use cauls with packing tape and iterate between them and other clamps), but I've heard the salt tip recommended a lot.
