OK..I place the front or back pannel onthe end pannel with theadheasive.. and run a few [ 3 here ] of the 4"long exterior coated screws [shown in the second picture along with the adheasive tube ] into the pannels... now these screws don't really grab the other pannel all that much.. but do hold it together while the adheasive dires strong... but it doeswhen it goes therough the adheasive..coat the screw...so as it goes into the inner pannel it takessome adheasive in the hole made by the screw... so thethreads.. and the adheasive go in and help really lock them together when dry..
Here's Anthony.. my helper with the pannels being screwed together to form a box... then cut the bottoms to size to fit inside this square.. useing adheasive on the inside of the box before inserting the bottoms inside.. then screwsare put in through the front/back and ends.. to hold the inset bottoms in place
