You run the bead ^ along the intersection of the floor joist and the sub-flooring:

==============
______________
^| |^
| |

Then you press it as you would caulking. The result is that the two are joined and move together. In theory, eliminating a source of 'the squeaks.'

That's a really good idea! I think it would even be easier because my
floor joists are engineered I-beams (2x3s top and bottom on OSB). I
just need to get the length right. Maybe I should pre-drill it. ;-)
...and clip the points off the screws to get a longer bite.

Don't know how that happened but this reply was supposed to be to
