Joining Melamine

[Scott]

Hello I was wondering what should be my choice for joining melamine in a butt joint, dowel, screws and or glue. What is the best specific screw for melamine ? What is the glue I should use ? Thanks for your help. Cillyman (scott)

Conformat screws are specifically desinged for this. Would suggest augmenting with glue (Titebond works well)

Is the special drill bit necessary to use the Confirmat screws ?

#8 lowroot, 2-1/2" self sinking head....pre-drill with 1/8 bit.

Use a laquer based white glue.

's offers a starter kit with screws, step drill, plugs and drive bit. I'v done a number of shop cabinet projects and office printer stands using these and have been very happy. Do be aware thy use a very large drive bit. It's the same kind of bit you see for deck screws.
