How to Build Custom Speakers

Step 13 Glue on the back panel

With the supports in place you can glue on the back panel. By this point we've all gotten really good at gluing and sensing just how much glue to apply before excess starts to drip out. Paint the glue on both surfaces, apply the back, and clamp thoroughly.

I agree about the dripage, but is it ok to wipe that up with a damp rag at clamping time, and not need the sanding off when it is dry ?

Wiping tends to make a bigger mess... let it dry or partially harden and then scrape it off with a cabinet scraper or a sharp chisel

Any reason that you don't use biscuit joints for the back and front panels too ?

No there isn't. I mostly just ditch those biscuits because the back is easier to align than the other panels and doesn't require them.

Why didn't you biscuit join the front and back panels?
