Gator board?
Posted by jack308gtsi on Tuesday, August 18, 2015 9:43 AM

I am making a 1"x2" wood frame 10' long x 3' wide to make a backdrop. I want to glue the Gator board to this frame. Any suggestions on glue to use?

Whistling

"No More Nails"  would be my choice, but lots to choose from, anything from Gorilla Glue to Silicon Caulking.

Plain old carpenter's glue would be my choice.

I've used carpenters glue with good success. I'd second that.

hot glue is also ok, it's extremly fast and durable: Iuse it for gluing gator foam to wood and doesn't have problems
