[QUOTE="betteraudio, post: 6383556, member: 615484"] Attach backing blocks or strips to each panel before you put them in the car, spaced from the edges so that the blocks sit flush up against the adjoining panels. Then you will have joints you can screw or nail together from the inside. As for the glue, I'd strongly recommend gorilla glue, or any other polyeurethane glue, as it will expand to fill any gaps quite nicely. I'm presuming you're not too worried about cosmetics on the parts of the box you won't be able to reach to do the typical cleanup necessary with such glues. And if you have a good router table, I would also [B]STRONGLY[/B] recommend using one of these [URL="http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/smarthtml/pages/bt_lockmiter.html"]lock miter joint bits[/URL]. They will provide much greater surface area to glue, and help in holding everything together in proper alignment. [/QUOTE]
