Fixable?

[Lschevy 3]

This is what happens when you get wood cut at home depot. I got all my cuts at home depot and some are 1/16 to short. they wasnt using the regular saw. i was wondering can i use some sealer tape for the cracks?

If nothing else just use some caulk on the inside, and a nice bead of glue when you put it together.

Take it back, that was their error and they should help you out since they usually like to keep customers. If you have already put glue on the wood, then I do not think it can be returned.

If you have a sander or evern a file you could use that to somewhat even things out more. If not you could use a mixture of wood glue and saw dust to creat a bondo type filler.

Damn thats ugly!

They dont have a panel saw? Thats odd.

[Randal Johnson 544]

Can that be fixed with a tablesaw ?? any real straight edges on the wood ??

[smashedz28 110]

what in the hell did they cut that shit with? lol... everytime ive been there and had them make cuts for me it was with a panel saw.. usually got at least straight lines, but they do always tell you that they arent perfect, so you got to know that going into it. I would just use extra glue and caulk the hell out of the inside of that part.

They cut the wood for my first boxflawlessly and i was very pleased. On the second box though they made a mistake on almost every cut 2/16ths short here, 3/16ths short there, 2 inches too long here, and so on. It took me so long to fix the mistakes they made But they do not make exact cuts so thus its not policy to refund you anything. However, as I've found with most home-depots, if you make enough of a scene they should take care of you.

I wish your luck was better than mine, but it appears that we have the same bad luck with home depot and the panel saw operators

X2 on the saw dust and wood glue mixture. When that stuff cures, it's awesome

Put it either on the inside seam or take the bottom panel off and put some between the panels.

[Godsmack 361]

Are you able to reposition it for the bottom to be inside the back panel?

Go buy some quarter round and glue that in the corners or if you have wood left over cut some 3/4" x 3/4" x ..." long strips and glue them in the corners.

I reamed a guy at HD once because he put his knee against the MDF on the panel saw. As he bent down he pushed the MDF ~ 5/8" as he was cutting it.

He thought he was doing a good job until I measured the cut/offset. He didn't do that on the replacement sheet I went and got off the rack.

These were not critical cuts, just to get them in the car to take home.

Nobody cares about your stuff more then you do!! That's why I do everything I can myself.

wood glue,

screws might pull it closer.

and last i agree wt cobra, get an extra piece and glue it to the inside of the box.

or saw dust and wood glue is always a win.
