When joining, apply a thin, even bead of PVA wood glue to the dowel before insertion and allow adequate clamping time for a secure bond. Once set, any proud timber can be pared flush with a chisel and sanded smooth before painting, oiling, or varnishing to your chosen finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat drill bit size do I need for a 9mm dowel rod?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a 9mm brad-point or spade bit for a snug fit.
