Do you glue when you screw..?
<< < (5/6) > >>
Veinman:
Well, since I'm using 3/4" MDF and 2" coarse thread screws, I think I'll unscrew some pieces and add some wood glue before it's too late. (I haven't filled any countersink holes yet.)

If I wasn't planning to fill those holes and effectively make it impossible to tighten the screws, I probably wouldn't even consider it.

I have?

Doweling is a pain.
I'd much rather just screw through, and coverup afterward--unless I am staining.
Then I'll take the time to do everything hidden.
Even then, I would probably screw from the inside, rather than dowel.
Dagg:
I did dowels and glue on the CP box only.  The cabinet I framed with 2 by 4's but many folks go the bracket route.

Anywhere you need gap fillling with a glue joint, epoxy is the way to go.

It's no more messy than gorilla glue.
