Don Case Posted July 9, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) When you are gluing down deck planking do you put glue on every beam, carling and ledge that the plank crosses or just the minimum to hold it in place?

Jim Rogers Posted July 9, 2021 Share #2 Posted July 9, 2021 Personally I put glue on every surface the plank touches. mtaylor and Jaager 2 Quote Regards, Jim Rogers Damn the Torpedoes , Full speed ahead. Adm David Farragut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted July 9, 2021 Share #3 Posted July 9, 2021 I too do what Jim does. Just seems more secure to me.

Phil Babb Posted August 15, 2021 Share #4 Posted August 15, 2021 I use a d4 type glue and apply to both surfaces, on all touching areas, this then gives a superb adhesion mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurus Posted August 15, 2021 Share #5 Posted August 15, 2021 Both surfaces, and all areas. Apply it and then wait 10 minutes--or whatever the manufacturer recommends--and then press firmly together. After finishing, run the handle of a wooden tool pressing down on the planks to smooth them. mtaylor 1 Quote Eurus My logs: Providence Whaleboat ARM Cuauhtémoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
