| Registered User Sr. Member |  Is there quick fix for slightly loose fitting raised panels? I'm sure I can't be the first to make some raised panels that fit a bit loose... those riased panel bits with the back cutters seem to take the guess work out of bit heigth adjustment. Which I could have found some when I was buying mine  . That's what happens when you're too much in a rush for mail order I guess...I'm doing a pair of panel doors with 3 panels on each door (6 panels total) and some fit perfect some fit loose, and some I had to give a second pass so they would fit in the slot. Weird...wonder what I'm doing wrong, is it possible to apply TOO MUCH pressure to a piece of wood? Could the OP base plate be warping under the pressure I apply? I'm not leaning on the thing.... I was thinking about maybe putting a bit of clear caulking inside of the slot that accepts the panel. The stuff(Mulco Supra) is kinda like glue but can stretch 350%. Or should I just leave them as is? |

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Hi tpyke "Is there quick fix for slightly loose fitting raised panels?" They should fit a bit loose ,the panel must float, pickup some foam rubber insulation 1/4" thick and put some in the slots.. 1" long 2 on each side of the panel in the slot...they make balls/strips but you don't need them for a small job... =========== Quote:
