Glue line problems (self.turning)

No photos, just a question. When I do a glue up piece for a lamp or bowl, after I am finished, it's in the house, and after a week or two, I can feel the glue lines. Finished smooth as a baby's butt, satiny, and a week later,... Ugh!

Do I need to postpone the finish work, from lopping off tenons to applying the finish (poly, or wax, or danish oil, etc)? Remount after two weeks and re-sand?

I've noticed the same with laminated pieces. While I've never bothered to solve this problem I think you're on the right track, treating it more like a twice turned bowl.
