When building frameless cabinets with 3/4" baltic birch, what are the proper screws to use for the carcasse butt joints?

I'm under the impression that confirmat screws are only for melamine or PB. :confused: Could someone point me in the right direction for proper screws?

Thanks...

No need to do anything special for Baltic Birch. Confirmat is definitely overkill. I would use a #10. Countersink it well, so the laminate or veneer won't dimple over it.

I have used 1&1/4" drywall screws, now mostly I use Kreg screws. BBis not fussy and is the most stable plywood to work with.
