The importance of testing on scrap



I'm looking for options. While trying to figure out a way to clamp
this carcase, I tried one way that sure won't work. Hot melt glued-on
cleats and today's veneered cherry plywood don't mix very well at all.
I'm betting it's the ply just under the veneer, some sort of MDF, it
appears. Initial testing with double-sided taped cleats shows some
promise, and any other ideas are welcomed. This is a 45 degree join on
a corner cabinet base unit. More pics at http://tomeshew.spaces.live.com/
