To clamp or not to clamp
I was wondering about this today while clamping up some MDF boxes...
Does anyone have any experience that clamping a joint while the glue
dries results in a stronger joint than not clamping. (Assuming the
parts fit fairly well and don't need clamping to bring them into
alignment.) I think I've always assumed that a clamped joint would
have more wood fibers in contact and produce a stronger joint.
