Tony Davis Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I have built the supporting frame for my 60" x 36" layout and I am intending to pin and glue the surface plywood. I remember my old woodwork teacher telling the class that pins or screws were only to hold the wood in place while the glue set. So, before I go ahead, has anyone had an experience which contradicts this advice? Thanks, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the surface is one large piece then pinning or screwing is probably the best way to bring the parts into contact. The alternative methods: Weights need to be very heavy to compress a large piece of ply and cramps won't reach into the middle.
