[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8874289, member: 682903"] I use Titebond II or Titebond III wood glue and a air power Brad or finish nailer. Quick, easy, tight reliable joints. Apply the glue to the joint, clamp if needed to keep the panel aligned and fire the finish nails in. Give the glue a day to dry and you're done. No need for any crazy caulking afterwards, as long as the panels are relatively square, the glue will both bond them and seal very well. If there are big gaps in the joints you need to gob caulking into, the wood cutting stage was messed up. I'm assuming the GP cut box will be done well so this should not be a problem. When I was younger I used loads of drywall screws and whatever sealer I could get, but the wood glue and thin nails is much better in my opinion.
