fix for not so tight joints

Nick11 | Posted in Finishing on February 18, 2010 12:36pm

I have some raised panels where the joints are not as tight as they should be. Is there a technique or fix for minimizing it’s appearance?

Thanks

If the space shows on the front - maybe you can add a small molding -

Would shimming from the back push the panel forward and hide the space ?

Are you speaking of the joints between rails and stiles, or between panel and the frame?
