"If I had a good way to compress the joint after running the bead"

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
Markem, below.

I would run the bead too. When someone disassembles something I built
I want a bit of cussing because it is work.


Agreed. As long as the joint can be tightened up, a bead of glue
should work just fine. Of course it would be good to get glue as far
into the joint as possible.


Sacrificial putty knife?


When he sells the house, the buyer's inspector is going to want to know
why there's a putty knife glued between the I-beam and the subfloor. ;-)
