Gluing sill gasket to wood?
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 Ken |

It's quick and easy and quick. 3M spray adhesive would do what you want. When you say many applications, give a f'rinstance or three. R |

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, http://www.flickr.com/photos/dynamics/3264642761/ 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. Ken |

" 3M spray adhesive ", sounds like a spray on 2-sided tape, have you been happy with the results? Basically. It's a spray contact adhesive. I've never encountered a 3M product that sucked.

We intend to use a sandwiching of gasket seal where the hinged vent contacts the wall. Yeah the spray stuff should work. You could pick up some self- adhesive weatherstripping/gasketing for that application. The sill seal doesn't have a lot of thickness, which is probably good, but it doesn't have a lot of give so it won't make up for something that is starting out as a not too tight seal. Make sure the cover fits closely all the way around before messing with the gasket. I'm surprised you still have snow up there, what with it being June and all. R |

In a perfect world with perfect lumber that's not a thought, but every piece of wood has a slight (or noticeable) wow and twist, and the design may not only compensate for that, but actually reduce it, in critical areas. I'm surprised you still have snow up there, what with it being June and all. A few days ago it hit 90F here in Oky BC. Ken |
