So i shouldnt use resin? I have a bunch of it left over from another project.

Alright right ill take you word for it.

So with the baffle sure i glue them together then screw them into the box? or glue together let it dry then screw them onto the rest of the box?

Thats pretty much my last question.

the screws will act like clamps while the glue dries. so you'll want to screw it together before the glue dries. glue is your strength, screws are your clamps

If you put the double baffle together before putting it on the box, you'll need longer screws to attach it to the box...unless you c'bore through the top layer.

I like to clamp and pre-drill before adding glue. It's easier to clamp without the board squishing all over the place.

Then I remove the clamps, add glue, and start all screws with just the tips sticking through.

They will help align the piece back to the box and clamping is a piece of cake (if even necessary).

I have question, do screws even need to be used if I have enough clamps?

here are some tips that might be helpful that work for me.

-measure twice cut once for sure

-try to make straight cuts. now that i have a table saw its pretty easy

-tite bond ll is the glue i use

-clamps always help hold it together for screwing. now instead of clamps i nail 2 corners to hold it together while i use my countersink bit before screwing it just works for me.

-practice make perfect the more you doit the easier it gets
