View Full Version : Securing reducer to plywood

I tried gluing a reducer onto a plywood floor and it didn't last long (glue cracked). I used wood glue. The problem is that the reducer overlaps a tile floor so it's not quite in contact with the plywood floor. Should I have used a different type of glue or would I be better off screwing it (the reducer that is)?

I also bought a Fuller tapered drill/countersink cutter with plug cutter and have been practicing with that. The reducer is prefinished but after drilling the hole and inserting the plug the finish will still need fixing. Can I sand it lightly in the area of the plug and spot finish it?

Thanks

Use liquid nails or PL 400..at least I think that's what it is called. Place some heavy objects on the area and leave it until the glue sets.
