Thanks for the quick replies. I haven't used the PL Premium before, so now I guess my questions would be how much it will expand, and how low will it take to cure? If I clamp the plaque to the board, will the adhesive expand up around the outside edge of the plaque? Then be easily cleaned off with a rag and a sharp chisel or putty knife? Should I "butter" the adhesive into one thin layer, or simply apply a bead to about half of the surface? Please bear with the questions. Thanks.+1 with Stick ( construction grade adhesive)
A good point, but I think most of the pressure treated lumber sold today isn't nearly as deadly as the older lumber preserved with arsenic.Not a good idea, using some types of pressure treated wood.

Thanks for all of the info.held in place it won't expand much...
read the tube for cure time.....
MS cleans it up really well while it's wet...
dry it will shave/scrape easily..
one side application and more isn't better...
Not quite as nasty but I wonder how effective any adhesive would be on the surface of pressure treated lumber. I believe the pressure treatment does not go all the way through so your routed pocket might get down to bare wood. In that case the above reccomendations would work. I would take a piece of scrap pressure treated and a piece of scrap metal and make a test bond.A good point, but I think most of the pressure treated lumber sold today isn't nearly as deadly as the older lumber preserved with arsenic.
With you on that. Many, many, years ago, my old man made a picnic table framed with square tubing. The top and seats were about 2X12, varnished. That thing is probably still in use today, it was made that well. Not certain, but likely there are plans out there on-line, somewhere.I'd never trust the pressure treated wood on the top. Consider using something else up top with the treated stuff forming the legs and support. If there's a chance someone will sit on the seat in a wet bathing (or birthday) suit, a chemical leach might at least become irritating. It's a picnic table, people use them that way. The problem with insects is usually at the point of wood contact with the ground so the treated stuff doesn't have to include the top. If I thought a table was treated on top, I would find another table. Just sayin'.
PL premium is designed for PT...I would question the effectiveness of any adhesive on PT wood. My son-in-law's deck is painted and the paint is coming off. Would adhesive behave in the same manner?
Harry..Here in Australia I would, and have used construction grade liquid nails, I've used it on wood, bricks, concrete and Polystyrene plus materials that I've long since forgotten.
