Best tool for the job

[Carl Spiby]

Need to repair a piece of wood right on the corner of a cabinet, it needs glueing and clamping.

Both a C-clamp and spring clamp would probably do the job but as I don't have either, which would be the best to invest in?

Can it be glued and screwed?

You can get clamps from Wilkos for a pretty cheap price.

I used some of those mini clamps.

And if it's a corner and a regular clamp won't work you can usually rig something together by either using two clamps on their own or a couple of clamps and an offcut of timber. I did just that when i've had to glue some of the ply on my backbox before filling and sanding it back.

Its just a thin bit that has split off but it has the silkscreen on it.

Fill and see if you can... embed the print in... depends on how big/deep it is... Pics needed

I have 2 part epoxy which is what I was going to use.

Not the best pictures but should give an idea.

Obviously the leg is hiding most of it.

A ratchet strap can also be used as a clamp.

you can make a clamp out or 3"x2" ,but a ratchet strap with timber block s on all corners,will give you more pressure on the piece you need gluing up
