If not, the wood can crack and screw up what you were going for. Do this equation to figure out the volume of your box. HeightxWidthxDepth/1728. The dimensions you plug in should be from the inside of the box, so don't measure on the outside of the MDF.

Yes Choodle I already knew that. I use wood glue to hold it then seal it with silicone. It works believe me. Screws? I use a nail gun. Now that takes practice LOL. Don't do it right then through the MDF it goes.

screws are far better than nails lol.. even though you used nails on mine..
I also used silicone on the inside.. so wood glue + screws + silicone should do it hehe
