Hi guys
My project for laying a T & G plywood floor on top of a very uneven slab is well under way and I have just finished laying down the ply and cutting out any bits due to piers etc.
I have a few questions that I need answered prior to glueing and screwing:
1. I was going to use Liquid Nails for Floors and Decks (http://www.selleys.com.au/Selleys-Liquid-Nails-Floors-and-Decks/default.aspx) is this ok?
2. Ideally I do not want any gaps between the edges of plywood sheets so I suppose that I need to clamp the sheets tight? As I am doing this by myself, can I screw a strong batten across the joists and simply use some wedges? or should I hire some clamps?
3. Do I put glue into the actual tongue groove and all edges of the ply sheeting?
4. As I am going to paint the ply with Berger Jet-Dry (I have spoken to the Berger Technical people) I want to fill any imperfections...can I use "builders bog"?
Thanks guys for any help you can provide.
Regards
Greg
