[QUOTE="Pioneer~Saturn, post: 6587322, member: 569334"] PL two 6" x 6" pieces end-to-end together, just normal butt-joints clamped together...then do the same with two more 6" x 6" pieces but with wood glue (Titebond II is what I always use, id go for that)...let each set plenty of time (atleast let each set overnight) and then unclamp them and clamp one of the 2 pieces firmly to a workbench (both the PL and wood glue pieces).. Now take a hammer and give the one on each set hanging in free air a good smack...I think you'll be sold with the results on which to use in the future ^And please actually do this so you will see the difference..The pieces that were wood-glued together should have mdf-failure around the glue joint...but the PL pieces, the glue itself should fail without effecting the mdf much because the bond isnt strong enough (this is assuming youre going to use mdf for this test). Like PV said, not to be rude, but a year of High School woodshop doesnt really mean much. Once youve taken cabinetry classes and things of that sort, then that starts to mean something.
