Pre glued dowels...any good?

[Paul Snowden]

Has anybody used them, are they any good and would you use them again?

where do you get those?

[Bill Huber]

I have never use them but I am not sure I would like them. If they get damp will that make them all stick together? If you got just a little too much water would it come out and raise the grain of the wood?

I use the expansible compressed spirals dowel and have no problem with them at all, put a little glue in the hole and press them in, the glue then come out around the top of the hole and I know I have them glued well.

Do a Google search on Pre Glued Dowels and you can find a lot of placed to get them.

i think those are mainly used by cabinet and furniture manufacturers who usually have a machine that inserts dowels.
