What is the maximum size that you would glue a "cap" on a box? Can I safely get by with 6x6x1/2? Doing an experiment on one now. Built a 6 x 6 box with lock miter joints out if some scrap walnut and then glued a cap on with titebond 3.
Last night I put a wet rag on it and let it sit all night to see if it would cup. It didn't. So now I turned it over and poured water in until it was a 1/4" or so deep. I was pleased to see it was water tight but am wondering if it will stay that way. I post results tomorrow after I check it.
So what do you think I'll have tomorrow morning? A cracked cap, cracked sides, or will it be just fine?
