Roo's what we use and what I'd recommend. What do you mean by PVC
glue? Do you mean polyurethane? If so, I definitely wouldn't use
that. It'll foam all over the place.

Hi Eric. I made the post about the melamine, if that's the one you're
referring to.

I just read a discussion about the prefinished ply on woodweb. Might want to
read through that. Turned into more like a debate about simply joining dry
with screws (on the boxes of course) or to dado the sides/floors in so you
can use regular glue. Others just took the approach to butt join them, dry,
with screws. Similiar question to what I'm asking, except about melamine in
my case.

At this point, I'd have to say there's camps on both sides of the argument.
I can't comment on the Roo or Tightbond Melemine on prefinished - sorry. I
am pretty sure regular Titebond 1, 2, 3 won't work at all.
