For those in the building trades, I think the technical
term for "gasket seal" is,


Poly Foam Sill Seal Gasket
with a product description here,http://building.dow.com/na/en/produc...wmsillseal.htm
We often use 3.5" x 50' , rolls for many applications,
(it's usual only an 1/8" thick cuz we're really good :-).
Would anyone kindly suggest how to glue gasket seal
to dry spruce/pine?
We've been stapling, but I'd like something more elegant.
Thanks


Elegant? What's not working for you with the staples? It's quick and
easy and quick. 3M spray adhesive would do what you want.


" 3M spray adhesive ", sounds like a spray on 2-sided
tape, have you been happy with the results?

When you say many applications, give a f'rinstance or three.

Sure Rico...
In this photo, the near window is a kitchen window
and above that is a vent that is openable by a pot
of rocks hung in pic, and closed tight by a cord in the
kitchen,

In the cold winter, (-10F) humidity either freezes it in
the closed or open position, that is a bit of a PITA to
dislodge, so we've redesigned the system, so that
shouldn't happen.
We intend to use a sandwiching of gasket seal where
the hinged vent contacts the wall.
