    Nice Post as always Vid. Where was this when I was repairing cabs?

    BTW.. I have had good luck with Bondo even on larger sections and corners. The mistake many make, is not allowing the bondo to have something to bite into. For large areas, a few small holes in the wood help it stay put. If you have done it correctly, it wont fall out.

    Quoted from jwilson:

    So, what's the best way to fix a cabinet that's wobbly? I've got a Paragon that has angle brackets holding it together.

    So the cabinet is flexing? I'm assuming the sides are coming apart? Use a strong wood-glue, and clamp the sides together until dry.

    If your going to be repainting the cab, run some small screws (counter-sunk) to give extra support. Fill in the holes (Where the screws are) with bondo, resin, or etc...Sand flat and repaint.
