Before gluing, we need to fully prepare the insides of the carcass. The reason for this is because the lid and base will prevent access to the inside, therefore making it impossible to remove glue squeeze out.

BUY
Osmo Oil

This oil and wax blend is my go-to finish for most woodworking projects. Would highly recommend!

BUY
Microcrystalline Wax

This wax is slightly more durable than normal beeswax and is a great way to resist glue sticking to the inside of pre-finished carcasses.
