I’m a bit stuck on how to attach these stained boards together securely. Any ideas on the best way to do it? Thanks for your help!
You’ll need Gripfill and panel pins
That was my initial idea 😂 Glad someone else mentioned it too, thanks!
Cabinets finishing screws
To ensure a strong hold, follow Dale’s suggestion of using construction adhesive and double-sided skirt nails.
Absolutely, . To minimize stress when inserting finished boards, consider attaching scab strips to the bottom edge with double sided masking tape for a smoother landing. Do you understand?
For securing cabinet finsih screws or using a Brad nailer, make sure to apply construction adhesive underneath first.
When dealing with a stairway wall that will be used frequently, especially by kids, I recommend predrilling and countersinking 3-inch screws. Afterwards, fill the holes with stained plugs to blend in.
