I started drilling the holes for the T-nuts. I drilled them 1/64 under 7/16 so they would fit tighter. I drilled 52 holes per 4x8.
The T-nuts I bought are the kind with the 3 prongs that stab into the wood. Is it really necessary to glue them in? What is a good type of glue to use for this? Do you acetone the nuts before applying the glue?
I know there is the other kind of T-nuts that have 3 holes to presumably screw 3 screws into. Are those better for walls? Does anyone use the 3 stabby thing nuts and just put a few wide flanged screws in right beside them?
OK I just watched some videos on installing T-nuts. What is up with threading them with a bolt to get them in. Why don't they lay the plywood on the ground and whack them with a hammer to set them?
OK messed around with them some. It is just easier to install the three hole ones. I hammered the 3 pronged in and now I am going to end up putting screws beside them anyway to make sure they never get knocked back out.
