Millerzconstruction Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 They bought cheep cabinets and wanted the ends caped with thin panneling that you can buy to glue on the ends. So they don't look as cheep. Took that many clamps to get the panneling to lay flat every where. Any body who works with that stuff knows how bowed the thin strips of panneling are. I needed a couple hundred clamps to of done both ends at the same time. Lol. As you can see I ran out of enuf clamps to do both ends.

Millerzconstruction Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Gotta go do the other end tommrow. And glue and clamp it all again. If they would of told me they wanted them on to begin with, I could have glued them both at the same time then hung them. Millerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolMillerz Just a tip, instead of clamping all over the piece, cut a piece of 1/2in to 3/4in plywood out of scrap and place it over the glued panel. You could use just a couple clamps to achieve the same amount of dispersed surface pressure, one in each corner would be plenty. This also keeps the surface of your paneling from depressing from the surface pressure of the clamp face as the glue squeezes out at that spot and pushes the panel away from the cabinet all around it, once the glue cures and you remove the clamps you have the risk of it looking like a dimple everywhere you clamp. If you have trouble following what I'm saying (not easy to explain in words) I can make a video demonstration of this to help make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its better than plywood. Its like what people use to keep forms strait when pouring pires with concreat I just put a couple extra on the side because I had them. Other than the 5 on the side there is only 4 really holding it flat. Thanks thoughMillerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerzconstruction Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 You can't see them but there are two 2×4s. One in the middle an one a third of the way each way. And the cabinets are only 14 inches wide. Millerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the more ridged the material the better, was suggesting sheeting because you had enough clamps on one end to do both sides at once. Efficiency is money. =-) Throw up pics of the finished product! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerzconstruction Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 These people are tight. And a sheet of plwood is 30 dollars. I didn't know they wanted the sides out on in till I was done and got paid by the renter and he asked if I put them up. And never told me about them. So I was Woking with what I had.
