I have seen this remark about the cya (Super Glue) before.. do you just drop it into the hole, or try to let it run down the inside edges of he hole, or do you fill the hole, and re-drill it and tap it afterward?
I know that sounds dumb, but want to make sure what i am in for here
Any idea how many sheets of MDF I am looking at.. I am thinking the basics can be done with a single 4X8 sheet, but I may be wrong *Grin*.. I usually am..
