Yes, Vinay. It is supposed to be good with polyiso. Originally had rejected it because of its cost and that it requires clamping. But think I have solved the clamping issue. Have already bought about 240 oz. of Liquid Nails for this project. But think I will run a small test with some Gorilla Glue I have on hand.
Was hoping to have this shell up by the time everyone gets back from Burning Man, but because of a number of variations I am doing, it is going to take longer. Am toying with a design for minimal 2x4 support for the roof that I may be incorporating in coming days. It would require some notching in the tops of the walls and would allow for an add-on OSB overhang for aesthetics, summer sun blocking, and guttering/water catchment. If I can make that design work in my head and on paper, adding the actual overhang and guttering will be a next-spring project. As well as adding an additional roof coating then. Am "poor man's fiberglassing" the cut boards for added strength and weatherization. Monday need to make calls to see if I can find a free or near-free source of old bed sheets for that. (Hospitals? Hotels?) I don't have nearly enough fabric (other than burlap bags that I've collected from coffee grinders and they are too thick for this purpose). And do not have the budget for it now, but WISH I could afford to create a French drain foundation for it. And know that later I will wish that I had. But I've been wanting to build this thing for more than 10 years and I've gathered enough of the pieces now to get it going and have two months of mostly warm enough weather to be outside doing it. Have more time than money right now. So am moving ahead with what I've got. Don't know what I'm going to do for foundation drainage and to keep the eventual mud-clay floor protected from beneath. But, Hi-Ho. It's underway. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Sun, Aug 27, 2017 at 4:33 AM, Vinay Gupta (Hexayurt Shelter Project) < hexay...@gmail.com> wrote: > You might want to look at Gorilla Glue too.
