The Framers Forum

Previously, when asking for advice about my dodgy corner joints, it's been mentioned that I need to make use of the band clamp a bit more.

Just to confirm, do you glue and leave in the clamp over night before putting the wedges in?

Or, is it enough to glue and immediately put the wedges in, and then leave it in the clamp overnight?

Glue then underpin then clamp straight away using some backboard offcuts to protect the corners and prevent clamp marks. A good glue like Titebond has an approx 5-10 min working time so clamp straight away.

Perfect. Thanks Justin.

Arrived at the workshop this morning, and this really worked a treat with the frame I left overnight.
