Huntter2022 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 When you are working with thin wood 1/4" do you bevel it or route a lip on it or just butt joint it ? There is not much there to work with so I'm thinking a butt joint be fine What do you do ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two saws Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Huntter2022, I just butt glue 1/4" and clamp the 2 together and have not had a problem with separation. Its a matter of keeping them from bowing, so I took 4 short pieces of scrap 3" or so wide and 4"to 5" long and routed a groove 1/4"to 3/8" wide and the same deep. when you glue up the wood, put 1 on top and 1 on bottom at each end of the board with the groove straddling the glue joint and clamp them down then apply the clamps to close the joint. This will ensure a flat board when the glue cures. Ervin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
