Liquid Nails doesn't expand. They even make a specific type for slick panel board such as MDF. Also, not everyone uses MDF to make enclosures.. so Liquid Nails (the proper type) is often used and works very well. Especially if you don't have the right saws to do everything. It's great for filling voids.

As I said before?????Liquid nails..its cheap, it seals, and it works.Inside, and out.2-3 tubes, and your fingers at work, is all that is needed.Works just fine, and has for me for the last 15+yrs.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Two to three tubes??? how big is the box? Why you need wood, make it out of liquid nails?

How about straight cuts and titebond 3 and you're all set. If not, titebond 3 and silicone of any brand will do...

I have used the black rubberized hot glue sticks for gaps that dont seal very well with glue alone.

Seems excessive.

The box is 2.0-2.5cuft, I'm not really sure I didn't calculate it to exact. The cuts are straight, I used a table saw, but I guess it just didn't come together square when I screwed it together to dry fit it. Here's a picture of the biggest gap, its in the center-left, this is the bottom of the box.

Here are some pics of the box:

And will liquid nails work fine? And I don't think making a paste out of sawdust and wood glue will work well to glue it together, it would work great to fill a void. I just don't see a paste with the sawdust and wood glue having great adhesive qualities, adhesive enough glue together the pieces while filling the gaps. I have liquid nails, I think I might use that since it will fill the gap well and is very strong.
