The new supergrip glues have also been a boon to the basement Sheraton: they will hold wood joints together more durably than the most exquisite doweling. Easy-to-handle materials such as Masonite, plywood and Plexiglas have simplified furniture construction. To Zakas, one of the most important technical innovations of all is the staple gun, which can be used for upholstery by tacking the material over foam and onto the frame.
