SWMBO has ordered (and when she orders, I listen ) a built in linen closet. I will be making the interior cabinet out of 5/8 melamine over particle board. Once the closet is installed, nobody will be able to see the top, bottom, sides or back of the cabinet. My question is for the joints, do I use biscuits, screws or both. If I use screws, what kind do I need, and where do I get them? Normally for such a case, I would just use screws, but it will be a chore to get this case fit into it's final resting place, and I anticipate a little racking and flexing while moving it. I don't want the particle board to break up while I'm positioning it. In the past, any time I have used screws in particle board, the area around the screws crumbles, usually sooner than later. This is the first time I have used particle board on a project that I care about. In the past, particle board has always been relegated to something temporary, or shelves in the backyard shed. Any suggestions for a successful install? Hopefully, this will get me started, unless someone wants to come over and build it for me. What... no takers? Well, it never hurts to ask.
Thanks for the help.
