Glue!!!!!

[lyndsey heist]

Fun fact .... Mix a bit of acrylic paint with your glue and saw dust to match your wood. Works like a charm! I also apply tape to surrounding area before I glue to help with clean up. Amazon sells this green tape all different thickness real cheap, I think they consider it automotive tape. I use it for my pottery.

Yes, that tape is quite handy.

I have made a lot of boxes with box jointed corners. I learned early on that taping the inside ends of each side of the box at the box fingers kept the glue from squeezing onto the box insides at the corners. Once the glue sets up for a few hours, I remove the tape and squeezed out glue, since the glue is still flexible. If I forget and the glue squeeze out hardens, a wide chisel and hammer or sharp knife are required. I never worry about the glue on the outside of the corners, since sanding the fingers flush with the box sides removes the glue squeeze out too.

I'll use sanding sealer lacquer mix with wood dust. Use a razor blade to fill cracks and gouged areas.
