[QUOTE="joe blowski, post: 10027153, member: 17814"]Hi, this question may not strictly belong here but I'll ask it. What do I do about a desk drawer which fits too tightly in the case? I don't want to start pulling off the veneer on the face of the case or damaging the drawer. Image1 shows the drawer pulled out a bit. In this position it slides easily until Image 2 where the drawer front meets the case. This is what I've done so far: [LIST] [*]Verified it's the draw sides which are tight and not the top / bottom of the drawer [*]Clamped across the front of the drawer to 'pull' the sides closer (no help) [*]Waxed the sides of the drawer and the sides of the case (no help) [/LIST] Before I start 'shaving' the sides of the case I'd like to know how others have fixed these types of problems. As always, thanks for your help! [ATTACH=full]503529[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]503530[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
