hi all,
I live in an older home with cheap, older cabinets. one of the upper cabinets backing was separating from the rest of the cabinet to the point that I had to remove it from the wall.
what's the best approach on repairing it? I assume running a bead of glue around the perimeter where everything meets up is smart, but what should I do with the staples used to hold the pieces together? remove them and use nails instead? drive the staples in with a hammer and then add some screws and/or nails as well?
here's some photos:
thanks!
