Nailer strips

Postby Aaron Coffee » Sun Sep 13, 2009 5:32 pm

Plan on putting nailer strips on the inside of the walls, between the spars. I think that is where I ran into problems with headlinder trim on the first one, when I was trying to nail trim through paneling with no backing behind the paneling, the trim would flex and break(just my theory). Can't decide whitch method to use cut a narrow strip to the contour of the wall or just cut little blocks. I did epoxy the inside inch of the walls so I figure I could use epoxy to glue whichever method.
Thoughts?

Finding little blocks might be hard when trying to nail stuff. :thinking:

You could always cut them to contour, that way they wouldn’t have to be bent to shape, they’d already be there. You could use a 1x6 and cut them out in segments so you wouldn’t waist too much wood (or as much anyway).

...here's a pic of mine...I used doubled 1.5"strips of 1/2 ply(cabinet grade) for my spars and used additional material to cut to profile the nailer strips which were attached using an air stapler and TiteBondIII...worked awfully well for me...
