True that. I remember working on my first cab in my parents' driveway. Went to Home Depot for half an hour and came back to find my dad accidentally caught the rear door on fire while welding nearby :laugh2:
And my CP looked godawful since I'd never used a router before, I literally burned the MDF because I didn't know the bearing was stuck :dunno

I felt the same way at first but honestly try this...take 4 scraps of MDF...two of them join with screws. The other two with yellow glue.
Once the glue is dried try to break it apart...then try the same thing with the screws...you will be suprised. I was.

At this point i am just going to use glue

I've glued and screwed but used waay too many screws. I'm now only using screws to held hold because getting clamps in some spots was too hard.
The glue is stronger than the screws. I've got several screws that have broken due to the glue drying and sucking the thread in.
Ond:
For gluing MDF I only use 'yellow glue' or AV180 as it's referred to (at least in Australia) it's specifically designed for MDF.
You can still use screws with it as well, make sure to clamp the work and let dry overnight. Once you've successfully joined your work, fill over any damage with "Bondo' as you guys call it ;) and sand smooth.
