quote: I cannot find a statement on this issue and have not seen an installation of this to the best of my knowledge. I still think the glue, whether it be a bead or not, would leave a thickness at the edge and hollow in the middle?
I don't know what it is, but something does not sound right about this procedure to me.
Ray, call the NWFA, they will tell you,,,it has been recommended by them for years, nailing and gluing, the late Mrs. Bonnie and I had a long discussion on it once years ago,,,,I had inspected a 12 wide pin plank in a home on the coast, gaps everywhere, the installer said he used a recommended adhesive and nailed it,,,,ok, now actually, he used staples on a 12" wide pine plank,,,any comments on that? and, he glued it saying the NWFA had told him that was ok,,,,I called, and she said they had some standards for doing both on wide planks,,,,,,and many installers today swear by it for wide planks,,,,so, call, I am sure Miss Bonnie was not in the habit of lying and I am not either. so, go have some fun,,,,end the confrontational approach and share guys.
