Looks really good, are you using super glue to put that together? Does it hold up? ---

Superlgue did’nt work very well, the MDF sort of absorbed it. So I used wood glue and hot glue in the end. ---

That’s what I figured, a good wood glue and clamps does the trick. You can also use small diameter dowel pins to help secure two pieces together. Brushing wood glue onto the end grain to seal it also helps otherwise your primer will keep soaking in, over and over LOL Keep those pics coming ---

> [@irricanian](#): > > Brushing wood glue onto the end grain to seal it also helps otherwise your primer will keep soaking in, over and over LOL Ha yeah, I bought special primer for MDF as I’m bored of having to use filler on every cut edge.

How you plan on fixing it? I don’t know how I’m gonna do this. I think I will just use glue to make it one peice for two reasons; 1. Im SURE it will fall out during a con (sumthing _allways_ seems to break) 2. I don’t have a [containment unit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/containment-unit) 😛 ---

Put a locking pin in the bottom or something… with a twist grip? Or a spring and a bar going through one of the trap knobs like a quick release… But the you might aswell go all out and make the handle button functional Lawrence ---

Nice… Have yo made it one piece already? Looks good buddy. 1 Piece rather than cartridge would be best for cons. Cartridges I’d say are just for a show off thing (unless your that guy with the long hair who wears skirts “Nah its ■■■■ unless its FBO, I can make a mould from that you know?”) Lawrence ---
