Troubleshooting
Biscuits do not fit snugly into the slot.
Ensure your biscuit joiner is properly set to cut slots for 4mm thick biscuits. Verify the slot is not too wide or too shallow. If the slot is slightly too wide, you may need to add a bit more glue or use a slightly larger biscuit if available.
Joint is not perfectly flush after assembly.
Check that the slots were cut accurately and in the correct position on both pieces. Ensure the biscuit was fully seated in both slots before clamping. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made with careful clamping pressure.
Biscuits appear swollen or warped.
This indicates exposure to moisture. Store biscuits in a dry place. If already affected, allow them to dry completely in a controlled environment before use. Test fit a sample to ensure they return to their correct size.
