[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 2152553, member: 570419"] More screws = less surface area for glue to cover and also may pull the wood in too close causing a good amount of glue to leak out the sides instead of being absorbed. Also, even if you pre-drill the holes, the screws will make the wood split easier and this is how my enclosure failed. Have you ever separated MDF before? I recently had to do this for an amp rack and do you know how I did it? I drilled in three screws across a 12" section of MDF. This caused a mild crack that was easily exploited and I was able to make two bases using the split piece of wood. [/QUOTE]
