That looks really good, Tim. Thanks for showing us your build as it comes together.
I usually remove the paper backing because I worry it might buzz. But I suppose if you press it firmly onto the cabinet panel while the glue is drying, it would prevent that.
And I agree with your observations about T-Nuts. I've seen enough of 'em get loose that I always glue them in. I pull them in place with a clamp just like you did, or by tightening a screw to pull them in place. I never hammer them in.
The reason I mount T-Nuts from the inside is I don't want to pull them out the front when tightening. I suppose the glue will probably prevent this, but I prefer the added security of having them inside the cabinet, where tightening the fastener pulls them further in rather than further out. It puts the joint in compression rather than in tension.
