Best biscuits?

[edfan@earthlink.net (Guest)]

Porter Cable biscuits have done me well but I don't do much with them either. Is there enough difference to make it worth searching out PC biscuits?

Ed,

I've used all kinds of different brands of buiscuts, both name brand and "off brands". I've never noticed any difference. After all, the whole point of buiscuts is to have a fairly sloppy fit and the buiscuts swell to align the parts.

The big secret is to keep them dry. I like to keep them in a ziplock bag inside a plastic jar.

If they do get damp, they might not fit easily into their slot. Just microwave them for about 20 seconds and they'll shrink right back down.

Hope this helps,

Ralph

I can't disagree with Ralph. I have seen some that wont fit because of moisture that is why I like to buy the PC biscuits. The containers that they use are easier to keep the biscuits dry...at least for me.
