Not sure where to ask this question, so will start here. Mods please repost elsewhere if need be. Thanks.
I'm making a picnic table with pressure treated dimension lumber. The top will be made up of varying width sized 2x somethings. I have made a template to rout a pocket in one of the boards into which I want to permanently afix an aluminum plaque into. I have sized the pocket to be just a bit larger than the plaque to allow for any shrinkage or contraction of the wood. It would be flush with the top of the table.
My question is what would be the best adhesive to use to install it? I'm thinking maybe liquid nails or some other outside weather proof adhesive in a tube for a caulking gun. Mechanical fasteners or screws won't work, as I don't want to drill any holes in the plaque. I thought I could use what ever adhesive I decide on to fill the minute space between the plaque and the board. Otherwise, maybe some exterior silicon caulk? Any ideas to offer me? Thanks.
