Ive started making a new set of cabinets for the office built-ins Im doing and Im having a heck of a time with the joint between the face frame and the plywood cabinet box. After an exhausting amount of sanding, putty, primer, sanding, primer, sanding to get the joint smooth, the finish coat still shows the seam perfectly. What am I doing wrong here? Are there any tips of getting joints like this come out perfectly? In case you’re wondering why the joint is 1.5 inches in from the front of the cabinet – So I wanted the top of the face frame to be flush with the cabinet top, so I built a normal face frame that was 1.5 inches short, and then added a 2×2 piece of poplar to the top. I routed a cove into the front top corner and that gives a nice look from the front of the cabinet. |
