Putting your project together without glue first is known as :

• dimensioning

• dry-fitting

• checking diagonals

• snugging

Which of the following would NOT be a reason to dry-fit your project:

• checking for squareness

• checking that parts are made in the correct sizes

• seeing the need for sub-assembly gluing

• speeding up the process of gluing
