| Ldsfunaz:
the consensus i have been getting from you experts is that: the glue (gorilla in this case) is what holds the studs/panels together, and the screws are just there to keep the panels tight while the glue is drying... If I'm using 32 inch quick clamps, do i even need to screw. I also have a air compressor/finishing nail gun(2 1/2" max), If i don't need to screw, maybe i could just pop each stud a few times, although i don't see this being any support... background information 2x3 studding in all the corners 3/4" MDF UAII thanks alot mike |

depends on how strong you want it to be. Nails work.. but if you ever decide to take it appart, you will most likly destroy the wood in the process. Glue alone.. can work good.. but very strong forces may tear it appart. (a few moves may cause problems) Coarse thread wood Screws - are easy to remove.. and form a Very strong and tight bond. I prefer these to any other method period. (Fine thread will not work well with mdf. strips, and no tight grip) If its a small project like a speaker box... or a mini control panel.. hot glue will be fine. Ive made boxes you can litterally jump on with it. But again, screws are much better Imop. |

Ditto. I'd go with screws. Consider it cheap insurance. Good Luck Mike |

Screws are necessary unless you want the cabinet to eventually fall apart. Game cabs take a lot of abuse. |
