[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8508539, member: 650438"] titebond 2 wood glue is best. Silicone caulk to seal any gaps, Pre-drill if you use MDF. If your home depot has 11 layer pine ply, you wont need to. You wont need clamps if you screw it on tight right away. If possible, use the 11 layed ply, stuff is light and very strong, easy to work with. MUCH lighter than mdf. Has to be 11 layered though, stay away from the 7 or 5 layered one. this next excerpt is TLDR, just a rant lol. As long as you have either drill or impact screw driver, it doesnt matter, point is either will make your life easier than screwing by hand lol. A drill is to drill stuff in and make holes, can be used as a screw driver with the right bit but its nothing compared to a screw gun. A screwgun is basically electric screw driver made for the sole purpose of driving in screws. If you have an impact screw gun, you can even make deep indentations inside the wood with the screw even after its fully screwed on. Using a drill to drive in a screw feels very different(weak) from a dedicated electric screw driver IMO. [/QUOTE]
