Damn putty seems to have expanded.

I wouldn't say glue is "all you need".  You need a very nicely made JOINT, PLUS glue.  Glue is only half of the equation.

For 95% of us... it is far easier to glue and staple/screw strips on the inside of the cabinet.  I do a fair amount of woodworking and I wouldn't consider making anything fancier.

Actually, if I were to say a blanket statement about fastening, I would have to say Duct Tape is all you need!

I dare anyone to disagree!!!

I once saw military grade duct tape used to hold the front end of a hummer, that was half torn off from a land mine, together for over 50 miles through rough desert terrain at 60mph+ without giving out.  Seen it used as bandages, boot repairs, patch holes in airplanes (don't ask), I saw a guy tape one strip to one side of a door and one to another letting it meet in the middle, used that as a hinge for the door (normal heavy wood door) for months...  That stuff is amazing and one of the more usefull things that the military invented.

Bones:
That duct tape is definitely strong stuff. They hold damaged panels in place on the Australian V8 supercars and these do close on 300km/h.

Putty update.
Recent coats of sealer have now been on 2 days and no imperfections are noticeable as yet.....

PetitMorte:
The gorilla Glue people have expanded their product line and are now offering "Gorilla Tape".



Give the stuff props for *sticking* to a brick.
