Hi All,

I have some 115mm shadow box extension from Lion, but am struggling to join it, the glue I have seems to just soak in. Ca n anybody tell me which glue they use, also any tips to keep it square, I have a strap type clamp to help. Would much appreciate any advice.

You need a PVA type wood working glue. Titebond is the best if you can get it but any other type will do the job.

Use your strap clamp to join it up either before or after pinning.
I always glue and clamp first because I can wriggle the joints to get the perfect edge and then pin next day when its dry, but many others may do it differently.

Thanks, I will give that a go. Also enjoying looking at your frames on instagram.
