Gluing plywood to base cabinet side
I have a sink base kitchen cabinet going in the basement. I have cut
up some 1/4" thick plywood to put on the sides and toekick. Its particleboard from the factory. Problem is how to glue it to the cabinet. Festool rail guided circular saw worked wonders cutting the plywood. Option 1: Use yellow woodworking glue. Problem is getting pressure on the plywood. Sink base sides are 34" x 23". Sink base is 5 feet wide. So I do not have long enough clamps to use cauls. I've thought about putting bags of cat litter on top of the plywood to weight it down. 200 pounds or so. Not sure it will be enough pounds per square inch of pressure. The plywood is also not perfectly flat. It has some waves and twists and bows in it. Option 2. Contact adhesive. I think it will work with plywood as well as it does with plastic laminate. |
