How to Glue Box Joints

Video Transcript

"Ok we got the box made so I'm going to do a little bit of sanding on it just. This is just a quick sand so I can see what I'm doing. Your major sanding is going to happen after you get this box glued together and the you'll want to sand down all these corners so everything is nice and flush. But what we're going to do right now is just put some glue on it. We don't need very much because this box is pretty tight and we don't want to have a whole lot of glue squeezing out all over everything so I'm just going to put a bit of glue out here in this a, little flat dish and so, and I got some a clean water there. This is just a little to go container, they're really fabulous for, for glue because a you can put the glue in it and use it and then when the glue dries it just pops right off and you don't have to clean it up, you can use it again. I'm going to take these things apart, I want to keep them in order because that's the way they fit together and if you start mixing them up you might find that small variations in the joint get you in a situation where the box won't fit together so we got them lined up in order. We dab a little glue and just paint the inside just with a thin coat just like that, a little bit like that. Set that down, you want to do both sides. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, glue, glue, glue, glue, there we go your glue in the water to keep the brush in the water. Hmm now see they fit real tight now that there's some glue in there. I'm going to check if they're square every now and then because in this weather, see we're down here in Texas and it's summer time now this glue is going to be pretty much set up within a minute or two so you don't have much time. That looks pretty good right there and we're going to hurry up and do them all right quick. And as soon as I'm done with that we'll start messing around with some finishing which can be fun. A, there's several different things we can do for this box and as soon as I it glued up we'll start a, a goofing around with that, that'll be fun and make a nice mess."
