How to use these dowels effectively

1. Mark the joint location and diameter precisely to ensure a snug fit.
2. Pre-drill a hole slightly smaller than 2.5 mm for an even, clean insertion.
3. Apply a thin bead of wood glue to the dowel and the hole for secure bonding.
4. Insert the dowel and wipe away any excess glue. Clamp until the glue sets for a strong joint.
5. Trim excess length if needed after the glue has cured for a neat finish.

Quality and care

These wooden dowels are manufactured to maintain a consistent diameter and length batch after batch. Store in a dry, protected area to prevent warping or moisture-related swelling. When finishing, sand lightly for an ultra-smooth surface before staining or painting to achieve professional-looking results.

Why choose this 100-pack?

For hobbyists and small workshops, having a reliable supply of standard-size dowels reduces project downtime and streamlines planning. The 8" x 2.5 mm size covers a broad range of common joinery tasks, while the 100-piece pack minimizes frequent reorders and keeps your workspace moving forward.
