Is Liquid Nails enough to construct my box?

Pioneer:

I'm building a custom control box out of MDF.
Is Liquid Nails enough to keep that thing together?

Farmboy90:

I used Liquid Nails but figured it wouldn't be enough.  A control panel is heavy.

So I added little 2x2 pieces inthe corners and screwed into them

Stingray:

Probably would be provided you clamp it until the liquid nails properly set up. I see no reason to not put a few nails or screws in it just to be sure though.

Doc Thirst:

liquid nails is no joke.  As long as all your edges are clean of dust (very clean) and you clamp after glueing, it should be plenty strong.

More Cowbell:

I thought about using Liquid Nails as well but reconsidered when I thought about the possibility of needing to repair or remove anything in the future. Even the remote chance led me to use screws instead.
