I must be missing something or maybe just be trying too hard.
Dry fit assemblies are not as tight as glued assemblies. The glue acts as a lubricant and the joints slide together tighter.
When there is some room to work that does not have an impact but in tight areas with a lot of fittings it throws off my dimensions and alignments.
I typically cut my pieces based on the female bell inset depth and taper the ends to get a bit of overlap at the inside bevel. These never go together dry like they do glued.
Am I misreading the point of dry fitting?
Is there a mystery lubricant I have never heard of?
Other?
Thank you
