For woodworkers needing strong, clean, and hidden joints, this Richelieu Flat Wood Plate Joining Biscuits set is an absolute must-have. This bag of 50 biscuits measures 2-1/4 inches long, which corresponds to the common #20 size, making them ideal for heavier or wider stock when you need maximum joint reinforcement. Crafted from compressed hardwood, they expand when they contact water-based wood glue, swelling to fill the precisely cut slot and creating an exceptionally tight, invisible bond. They essentially lock two pieces of wood together, providing both alignment and added shear strength for cabinetry, tabletops, and furniture construction.

When using these biscuits, the key to a tight joint is controlling the glue. Apply a thin, even coat of wood glue into the slot first, then quickly insert the biscuit. The moisture in the glue causes the biscuit to swell, which forces the joint tight. Work quickly, as you only have a few minutes of open time before the swelling action starts to make assembly difficult. For best long-term strength, ensure you clamp the joint tightly after inserting the biscuits and let the glue fully cure before removing the clamps.
