    dry build or glue from the beginning?

    Did you gentlemen begin gluing from the get go or did you do a dry build first, disassemble, and then glue everything together?

    Im planning on using simple Elmers Wood Glue, if anyone has any other glue suggestions let me know


    Thank You

    My Joes2006 arrived today and has been unpacked and cleaned with the shop vac.:banana:

    Dry Build! I don't glue anything until I'm positive that:
    1) Everything is in the correct place
    2) There will NEVER be a reason for me to disassemble that part for a minor modification

    Remember, woodscrews are your friends! After running the screw in the first time, remove it and put a drop or two of SuperGlue (cyanoacrylate) in the threaded part of the hole. Let it cure completely, to harden the MDF, then re-install the screw.

    OK, Thanks Dorsal

    Ive done a dry fit of all the pieces last night. This kit is really strong on its own.
