Sonic Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Also, make sure your pannels are square to each other (90 degrees), corner clamps works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bunch of it left over from another project. no real need for it. 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. 2000 Ranger Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412 CVX Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 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 Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs.

tacomaguy1 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 You talking about a double baffle? I usually glue them together, cut holes, then glue the baffle onto the box Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ear2ear Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 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).

gumedina83 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
