FWIW I think you would probably be OK with "ordinary" panel pins too,
especially if you help it with a bit of glue.

That's interesting, thanks.

I take it that one of the faces in contact is "bare" MDF, what is the
other?

The back panel is "veneered" MDF) which usually means it has a printed
paper covering, I think,Â* And the contact is with the bare edges of the
main panels (which on close inspection look more like chipboard than MDF).

Thanks for the tip about the unwipeability of the Gorilla glue.

That sort of veneered finish is slightly glossy and (I guess) not very
absorbant, but PVA should stick a bit to most glossy surfaces.

Maybe use two or three panel pins to get the same grip as a single
"ridged" nail.
