37、nished surface of the lumber, such that the bead extendsfrom one predrilled hole to the other, but not beyond. Applysufficient adhesive to give 100 % coverage of the lumbersurface, as evidenced by a “squeeze-out.” If it is necessary toapply the adhesive outside of the lumber conditioning chamber,rem
38、ove only one piece of lumber at a time, apply the adhesivebead, then condition the lumber with adhesive applied for aminimum of 10 min and a maximum of 12 min in accordancewith Table 3.10.4.2 Before placing the plywood on the adhesive-coveredsurface, insert spacers,14 in. wide by 0.006 in. thick by
39、4 in.long (6 by 0.15 by 102 mm), at the midpoint of the lumber andat the outboard side of each nail, as shown in Fig. 2. Before thespacer is inserted at the midpoint, scrape away a 1-in. (25-mm)segment of the adhesive bead at the midpoint. Do not permitadhesive between the spacer and substrate.NOTE
40、5Aluminum embossing tape is suggested for use as spacers.10.4.3 Position the plywood on the adhesive-covered sur-face with the aid of a positioning jig as shown in Fig. 3. Nailin place with 6-penny (2 in. (51 mm) in length) scaffold nails.Make the top of the lower head of a scaffold nail flush with
41、thesurface of the plywood.10.4.4 Apply a uniform pressure of 4 6 0.25 psi (28 6 2kPa) across the entire bonded area of the assembly for a periodof 1 min at 70 6 5F (21.1 6 2.8C). Apply this pressure byany appropriate means, including a press with a suitable insertbetween the nails or a combination o
