I am building an entertainment center with a top that's 58 inches wide, and
18" deep. I want to put a 3 1/2" popular wood mitered breadboard edging on the left & right sides and front edge of 3/4" birch plywood - (not Baltic birch, but ply from Menard's). I am trying to decide on whether to use biscuits or pocket screws. The screws will not show when the top is flipped over and there will be a 1 1/4" overhang with molding under the edge. I was wondering what you thought of using pocket screws instead of biscuits. I've never used pocket screws with plywood, only with solid face frames. I am concerned with the screws grabbing and holding tightly to glued plywood not giving way when screwed in. Thanks for your help and suggestions.- posted
