boom3 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 If the gap is small (say 1/16th inch or less) and you can force or clamp the pieces into line, I would use Titebond II, a yellow outdoor glue. It is nearly as strong as Gorilla and much cheaper. It also is easy to clean up with water and won't stain your hands. Liquid Nails is not appropraite for cabinet repair. It is really designed for construction and joints that will never be disturbed. It dries very thick and can't be coaxed into joints like the thin liquid glues can.

Huston Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 How are the reference baffles conected to the speaker box? I bought some RB-3's and the baffle was rattling against the box, I took them back to good guys and they said they couldn't fix so they sent them (it) back to klipsch....

Homedepot doesn't carry it though, and is about double the price of titebond II. Also if you gluing a plastic to the wood, I say use the gorilla or such because gorilla glue blonds anything while titebond cannot glue non porous items.
