How to use

To use the KWB 028180 round wood dowels, first measure and mark the connection points accurately on both pieces of wood. Drill holes matching the 8 mm diameter and appropriate depth to accommodate half the length of the dowel. Apply a suitable wood glue inside the holes and onto the dowel surface, then insert the dowel firmly into one piece. Align the second piece of wood and press the components together, using clamps to hold the joint securely while the glue dries.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 8 mm diameter and 4 cm length match the specific requirements of your project
• Ensure you have the correct drill bit size for precise hole creation
• Check the compatibility of the dowel material with your chosen wood glue

For optimal results, always test the fit of the dowel in a scrap piece of wood before starting your final assembly and wipe away any excess glue immediately.
