Despite the rain I am making progress on the roof.. using PL Premium Max as the bonding adhesive. It has some great qualities, and most importantly works in the rain!! Especially since my shelter has now earned a couple small leaks!
So, I apply the Pl Premium Max in the groove and then on the topside of the tongue. I have been using a clamp to squeeze in the board. you can also just tap in light with a rubber mallet or push hard.. but the clamp is easy.
I then drill a hole with countersink for the stainless screws clamping the board in place while doing it. I will fill the hole with epoxy and wooden plug later. I know others have used nails, but this way I know I am not going to crack an oak roof beam.
I am working with 8ft and 3ft lengths offsetting the gap each end, so one row at the bow, and then on next row the seam is at the stern.
When I get a row in.. the PL has set enough that I just scrape the excess squeeze out off with a scraper. So far so good.. once I am done.. a light sand, hole plugs, and then sealed with epoxy and glass.
