[QUOTE="Shoot Summ, post: 3714750, member: 1055"] A biscuit isn't going to keep it from moving(shrinking), it might help align it. Would be tricky trying to cut a biscuit in when you miter the splice... I will typically splice and glue longer lengths before hand, I use 1/8" or 1/4" ply glued and pin nailed on the back in addition to mitering and gluing the joint. Then cope the corner and snap in place. Glued and nailed in place joints typically separate when the heat in the house comes on. Gluing end grain takes a little extra effort, it tends to wick the glue, I always apply glue, let it set a couple of minutes, then add more glue. [/QUOTE]
