got some 100mm x 200mm oak sleepers - thinking of cutting into 1" PIECES then fixing / bonding to 6/9mm ply for end grain effect and then fixing to wall in house, something a lil different, bit of a feature... Q is - what would you chaps recommend for fixing / bonding to the ply...? should I go for an MS polymer (flexi) or a rigid set adhesive EG Lcol 5500, or any other suggestions, recommendations etc appreciated *planning to osmo polyx 3032 finish
Sounds crackin to me Pete! As for how to do it, I don't know but I reckon that anything you can do to create an individual look to an interior is a sound idea.
MS all the way.I think screwing 25mm end grain might split it.I have laid end grain floors 40mm x 40mm. i think 100mm x 200mm brick bond will look special but as a wall cladding do you need that thickness for something which will have very little wear.10mm will have the same effect with 40% of the weight.It's a bit of a trade off the thinner you go the more fragile it gets. Sounds like an exciting project let us all know how it goes & post some pics. All the best Tony
cheers chaps for the comments & suggestions, all good pointers to be taken on-board, cheers will post some pics in due course, but looking a few months down the line yet. re-plastering in the next week or so etc etc...
