I’m about to assemble drawers made of 1/2 baltic birch ply made with a simple rabbit joint. I’ll use nail gun. Is there any point in using glue on the joints or is it O.K. to skip this step. Thanks Much

Dovetail,
The joinery technique is usually determined by the size and function of the draw. Your post implys the use of metal slides..are they big? Normally, I would glue anyhow just to provide an extra layer of security.
Thanks. They are full extension and I did glue.
Dovetail,
Always glue. The nails (or brads) are just there to hold the pieces while the glue dries.
Tom:
Thanks. Of course you're right and I shall be gluing
