Glue vs Screws
Richardgregory:
I can imagine that this has been asked a billion times over, but can a newbie ask again? ;) So I figure I'll use glue instead of screws to mount the furring strips on the inside panel. Glue can be that strong to hold the weight of an LCD that will be mounted on a frame attached to the furring strips?
Just checking...

What is the material? MDF, plywood, or particle board?
I recommend you use glue AND screws for two reasons.
1. Glue is strong, but screws provide a mechanical connection.
2. The screws help provide good clamping pressure while the glue drys.
The material is important, because MDF for example does not take screws well, or if you try to glue melamine coated particle board, it might not bond well.
