FAQs

PVA (Polyvinyl Acetate) glue is recommended.

There are 30 biscuits in a pack.

What materials are these biscuits compatible with?

Do I need any special tools?

How do I store the biscuits?

Store the biscuits in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption.

Can I use these biscuits with laminate worktops?

Yes, but ensure the slot is cut into the core material, not just the laminate surface, for a secure joint.

Troubleshooting

Joints are not flush.

Ensure the slots are accurately cut, apply glue evenly, and clamp the pieces tightly together. Check if the biscuits are fully inserted.

Use sufficient PVA glue. Make sure the wood surfaces are clean. Ensure the correct type and size of biscuit is being used for the application.
