If one uses 1/4" hardwood-veneer ply for a panel in a flat-panel kitchen cabinet door is there a problem caused by gluing in the panel? I know this is a no-no for solid wood panels. But, since I plan to use stub tenons for my cab doors, the thought is that gluing in the panels would strengthen the doors -- which could be helpful for large doors and if any rack is attached to the cab doors to hold "things", such as pot lids, woks, whatever. This would also keep the panels from sliding around, having to use spaceballs, etc.
If this is a no-no even for ply, it would be helpful to know why -- i.e., what the dynamic is. Also, what if I could locate mdf-core or particle board core ply for the panels?
All this being said, at my sister's this past T-day I noticed that the ply panels in some of their cab doors has warped -- in their large custom kitchen. Not generally noticeable, but as I studied the cabs I noticed that the panels were "stuck" because they had warped in the slots. They live in New England, so they do not have big humidity problem in summer and they use a humidifier (at normal levels, as best I can tell, i.e., not fog on windows) in winter.
Comments, please, about glue-in. TIA. -- Igor
