I don't know about that stuff. I've tried the "Quick Grab" stuff and it was difficult to work with. IMHO, it's best to stick with the regular PL Premium in the blue tube. But I'm sure someone with more experience will chime in.

Its alot more stable than it looks, i ripped all 3 sheets on it today without any problems. If one were to use all horizontal blocks it would definitely add stability, and i looking back i should have the blocks placed a bit more under the table rather than the corners. Regardless i wouldnt recommend using cinder blocks for safety reasons, but they are cheap i already had a bunch and seemed to work pretty well.

I saw that the other day,
I think they just changed colors on it. You should be good.

Although, I haven't tested it yet.

Good luck of the THT!

Im still in the process of cutting panels down, but i have a question, im building the thtlp front firing model. In the plans it shows panel 11 and panel 1 cut leaving an open triangle behind panel 12, would it be detrimental to leave panel 1 at 71.5" and cut panel 11 to 17.5"? Picture attached for reference.

Well, progress has been made, most of my cuts came out on the money, i had one rip measure 1/8th of an inch shy, so it got purposed for the interior panels. I also had an error at the end of the 18" panel, which is also about an 1/8th of an inch over a 8" run, so im going to give that panel another shot and use it for bracing. I should have some more pictures on wednesday.

Haven't had a whole lot to report, i re-cut the panel pictured above, and got panel 1 installed today. I used an interior jig with a few brads to hold it in place for easy removal. I also cut little sections off a plastic speed square to leave room for squeeze out.

Good thinking but go ahead and build some jigs out of 3/4 ply.....much easier to clamp than a speed square.

Well, im happy to report that progress has bren made, and things seem to going fairly smoothly. I made a bit of a mess installing the braces, and i have a bit of a concern about panel 4and 7, it seems as though i did not install one of them perfectly square, there is a little less than 1/4" difference between the two panels when measurements are taken from the bottom compared to the top. I put a few brads in the braces before i caught the discrepancy. How big of an issue is this?
