First of all.
I'm applying the treacle like glue (Don't eat it !) To the biscuit slots
on the 2 side pieces. There are 4 slots in total. I'm also putting it
around the slot.
After I've put the biscuits
in their slots I have to remember to put glue on the biscuits themselves.
On the top and bottom parts,
i'm not putting any glue. I'm brushing a small amount of water on. This
particular glue actually cures in the presence of water. It will foam
out as it cures.
As you see here I've started
assembling the frame. I've just put the top and bottom parts on to one
of the sides.
I'm now putting the other
side on.
Now it's time for some clamping.
I will leave this to cure over night.
Before I do, I need to
check it for square. The mallet is to hand incase of the worst.
It's spot on - so now I
can go and have a cup of coffee !
As you see here. My polyurethene
glue has dried and foamed. The foam is hard and I need to remove it
with a SHARP chisel.
Don't eat it !
Out comes my beaten up belt-sander,
a good sanding to even everything up and smooth the sides.
Out comes my Random Orbit
Sander, I will use this with a higher grit paper, this will make it
even SMOOTHER !
