Thanks for the feedback. Has any one used adhesive (recommended by EB TY). It seems like a pain and a mess. Also, how does one get all those Ty’s in a board to neatly slide into it’s groove on command.
Thanks, Ted

Source control, ventilation, and filtration are the keys to healthy indoor air quality. Dehumidification is important too.

The glue probably wouldn't hurt...sounds like you want to do a top grade job and I'd view glue as insurance. Use one that's going to hold up to the weather and isn't too runny. If the joists underneath are exposed, you won't want to see drip marks. About installing the eb-ty, your earlier post confused me.

The first board is placed on the joists and then the ties are inserted into the biscuit cuts and screwed to the joists. Then the next board is set with one edge catching the ties you just screwed down. Another batch of ties are inserted into that board's other edge, screwed down, and so on. You don't have a point where you're trying to hold all of the ties in a board while you put it down. Did I miss something? It sounds like you want to run the edge grooves full length, with a router & slotting cutter I assume. Good thought, it's normally put down by making biscuit cutter slots only where needed. Your method would yield a big increase in efficiency.
