In the absence of a workmate or other clamping device , Screw up into it from a piece of chipboard or similar to hold it firm and route it.Out of interest, how would you rebate such a small piece of MDF?

To explain the rebate bit, the idea is just to form a dip in the top to get a greater contact area for glue , the lip around the outer edge retains the glue while keeping the joint neat.

I understand you dont worry. I'm not sure about the routing though. In terms of clamping, it's a small area to clamp and if a clamp failed, you'd have an MDF missile to rival north korea. If you screwed it down, how would you do it whilst ensuring there was no danger of the router bit contacting the screw during rebating?
Jeez just whack some wood glue on it and slide it under the door jamb. Wedge something underneath until it sets. No need to over-engineer this entirely aesthetic bit of wood.If you rebate the mating top surface a few mm deep leaving a lip around the outer edge , then drill a couple of holes into the void,wedge it up tight and pump gripfill in one hole untill it oozes out the other.
lol,,,that's what I was thinking mate,,,i just wanted to know what glue is strongest,,,Jeez just whack some wood glue on it and slide it under the door jamb. Wedge something underneath until it sets. No need to over-engineer this entirely aesthetic bit of wood.

Gorilla glue, cascamite... But I don't see why you need super strong glue for this; it's not like it's under any stress.lol,,,that's what I was thinking mate,,,i just wanted to know what glue is strongest,,,
