Hey guys, I am applying new decals to my BSD but I noticed the seam on the front left edge of cabinet is splitting. Anything you guys can recommend I do about this? What comes to mind is using a Brad nailer and covering them up with wood filler or something.

Thanks in advance!

Which type of clamps? Man, How would I even clamp this thing?

Do you think I could get away with just these and the glue?

In regards to glue, would construction adhesive suffice?

I’m guessing I’ll want to take that triangle back block out first

So Elmer’s and Scotch tape won’t cut it ay? Damn. I do feel that is a bit over excessive, but I also feel pins aren’t owned, just borrowed. ThereforeI make it a point to do quality work regardless of expense... well, within reason. I’ll update this post with my progress.

Thanks for all the info, as always

Well, it’s much better than it was. Would you recommend bondo to square it? Or should I just leave as is? It’s not that bad, but it’s no new cabinet either. Close enough for government work. Maybe square it with bondo?Close enough for government work. Maybe square it with bondo?
