i'd like to reccomend gorilla glue to anyone who hasn't used it before. traditional wood glues and adhesives definitely have there place, but theres no way i'd use any other glue for making a box.
the gorilla glue reacts with water (normally the humidity in the air) and about 5 minutes after application starts it foaming up, filling any voids in the wood and creating an air-tight seal. the foam fills up any imperfections without having enough force to seperate the joint. its really fantastic stuff, just be warned: if you get it on your hands, you have to live with it there for a week //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif its also a little pricey, $8 a bottle in my area, but keep in mind it eliminates the need for silicone and many screws.
anyone else have experience with this stuff? my dad is a wooden boat builder and swears by it... he told me to try it, and i'm really glad i did.
