How Do You Glue A Dowel Joint?
A dowel joint is a cylindrical piece of wood. A dowel joint is made to connect two parts of a structure (referred to here as side A and side B), usually also made of wood. Dowel joints are meant to hold together the two sides of the structure by acting as a connector. A hole is drilled into each side, and the dowel is inserted into each hole until the two sides are touching. Dowel joints are often used in pre-fabricated furniture. Gently insert the dowel into the appropriate hole in side A. If the dowel meets with much resistance, or will not go in at all, it is too large for the size of the hole. In this case, do not stick the dowel in so far that it cannot be removed. Remove the dowel before it becomes stuck. Sand the dowel and try again. It should not be difficult (or too easy) to insert the dowel and then remove it from the hole. Insert the dowel into the corresponding hole in side B. Repeat the procedure in step 1 to ensure a good fit that isn’t too loose or too tight. Remove one
