About 2 years ago I built a bed for my grandson out of walnut and walnut burl. I cut all the molding on my router table and I wanted to put all the trim on with no nail holes. I used Titebond III and CA glue. On each piece of trim I carefully applied the Titebond and left a few "openings" to place a few drops of CA glue. I was careful to make sure the CA glue was far from the edge so I had no squeeze out which can affect wood and prevent the finish from applying properly. The CA glue acts like a vise and holds the piece in place while the glue cures.
I was curious as to how well this technique would work. I can tell you that not having to deal with any fastener holes makes finishing a lot easier and provides a very clean look.
Today my wife is visiting the grand kids so I asked her to take a few photos so I can see how well the joints are holding up. Here they are. I am very pleased with the results. So if your making a piece with a lot of trim this is a technique you can use with some confidence
