Best adhesive for plywood.
Posted on 6/25/23 at 4:48 pm

So I'm having to change a slide floor on my camper.
I need to glue some plywood to make the length I need. Plan is to sandwich sheet together.
What would be the best adhesive for this?

Inside and protected from weather-----regular wood glue will work fine. Depending on how big the area you need to cover, it can be poured on and spread with a throw away paint brush or throw away roller.
When you sandwich the 2 pieces of wood together, make sure to weigh it down as evenly as possible until the glue sets.
Preferably overnight just to be safe.

It won't be inside 100%
It will be out when the slide is out and will have some moisture exposure

White wood glue comes in Interior/Exterior formula and should work.
I've used Gorilla Glue for some outside projects but make sure to read the directions. For best results use the glue on one piece spread out evenly and lightly dampen the mating piece with water.
Again, use something to weigh down the plywood evenly. The only thing I don't like about Gorilla Glue is it will foam up and ooze out around the edges like that expandable foam crack filler.
It is easily removed with a razor knife or sharp chisel when that happens.
Apply some type wood protection like paint, stain/poly, etc. to keep it as moisture free as possible---and be sure to finish the sides of the plywood too so moisture can't penetrate that area easily.

loctite construction adhesive
you will find it near the caulk/etc
industry standard

2 part epoxy resin...like they use in boat building. The manufactured glue layers will give before that does.
In reality it's probably easier to just use waterproof titebond though.

PL Premium would be my choice and construction adhesive is the correct answer.

Not understanding. To get more length, seems you need to but joint together. Sandwiching would get thickness right? Just trying to understand.

I would go with osb board. Longer warranty compared to plywood.
Built a house 2 years ago. OSB had 25 year warranty for flooring. Plywood was 1 year.

I don't have the tools needed to join the pieces and have a strong floor. So the next best thing and actually how I have seen in many videos of people doing this is to buy thinner plywood and stagger the joints and blue them together that way.
None of the videos I've seen mentions the type of adhesive they used though

Not building a house, it's for iur camper.
We won't have it more than maybe 5 more years so not worried long term. Plywood will last longer than I will own this thing

Loctite or liquid nail

Does "getting wet" void the 25y warranty?

PL375 construction adhesive is my go-to, less than $3/tube, interior/exterior, guns easily even when cold, soap/water clean-up, no fumes, good working time and doesn't skin over like liquid nails. Doesn't need a lot of clamping pressure like wood glue. Titebond 2 or 3 would work fine too, use a roller or brush to spead a thin layer on both surfaces but you'll need to clamp/nail/screw or otherwise provide pressure until cured.
