Hi,
I'm really trying to use as much natural products as possible for my extension. I have found some low toxicity glues, such as acrylic glues, but was wanting to have a product that would be even more biodegradable for the future. I was thinking of using hide glue and nailing the hardwood floors to ¾ inch plywood sheathing/sublfoor. Is that not a good idea? I know that hide glue is strong, but maybe not great with repeatedly being stressed.
Is this not a good idea?
Let me know.
Thanks,
Dimitri

P.S. If you aren't into it what about screwing hardwood boards instead from the side at an angle?
