Umm, Wood glue is Aight. But gorilla glue is the shiz. Much stronger. Expands to fill in any gaps. Only downside is damping the mdf before applying the glue. Gorilla glue is second only to epoxy in terms of strength.

stfu dude. woodglue is superior to ANY OTHER GLUE when using wood. do u want me to point out the obvious reason why? ITS ****ING WOOD GLUE!!!! it TURNS into wood almost. its a CHEMICAL BOND not some physical bond.

BINGO. Wood glue impregnates the fibers of the wood. While "liquid nails" and Monkey Nuts glue just bonds to the surface.

All you need is a little brother or sister to fetch you sandwiches, tools, and beer...

A happy body always leads to a good box...

get the stuff that is white (smells less) and is also paintable so you can paint your port //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I resin all seams and corners instead of caulking.
