Bonding wood to steel
Bonding wood to steel
(OP)
Hi guys
I would like to bond a wood nailing plate to a steel bearer so I can support wood joists. Does anyone know a good adhesive to use and a specification for using it.
Regards

I typically use small bolts to secure wood nailers to steel beams, or alternatively use powder actuated fasteners...

But - I can't "justify" or quantify it. Maybe google some of the mfgs and find out if you can get some "numbers". I do know that creep could possibly be a long term problem...
