dogboy Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 i started a thread in here about blue great stuff thanks for your responses- i drilled more holes than i would have, and am glad i did right side was no problemo- but the wood on the jamb- southern yellow pine, was actually quite porous not only did the extra foam come out of the holes i drilled and the seam where the blind stop and jamb meet, it actually came right through the wood over much of the surface i thought SYP was pretty dense! anyway, while drilling holes on the other jamb, i found a crack that runs bottom to top about 3/4s of the way up the damn thing the crack happens to be in the dado that the parting bead sits in here's my plan: drill a hole at the top of the crack to relieve the stress there gently tap some wedges into the crack butter it up generously with carpenters glue screw some blocks onto the jamb face and clamp the thing overnight remove the blocks and scrape off any excess glue rip a piece of parting bead so it is a hair smaller than the dado is deep slobber the dado and the parting bead with glue and install the thing tack it in place with my brad gun that should hold it just fine thank goodness for a glue that actually works as advertized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
