Is there anything special I would need to do (shaping the spar) in order to get full contact or is adhesive thick enough to cover the gap? I am planning a wood roof so am wondering if square to curve may cause some ripples in the look?
Thanks
The only thing I use nails for anymore is to pop the seal on another tube of adhesive. (I use either screws or 1/4" crown staples)
You will not have ripples showing through. I'd recommend a good polyurethane glue such as PL Premium that has good gap-filling properties. Doing it without some type of fastener? You're getting outside my experience curve but don't worry about ripples with 1/8" ply.
