I have a DIY question for you.
I need to clamp about 4 or 5 pieces of T&G flooring together so they glue properly but I don't have any long clamps and the only person I know with long clamps is in france with his clamps until end of October and then probably won't bring his clamps back with him.

So is there some sort of old carpenters trick to securing the boards close together while the glue dries?

I'm looking for a serious example of the Mighty Badger being the fount of all knowledge here.

Sit on them, the extremes of heat and pressure will fuse the planks together
i hope this helps

I'd use compression straps
with the flooring pieces weighed down to stop them flipping. Since you ask

Now that is a really good idea, I have several of them and a few bags of gravel to weight the boards.
Thank you very much.

As you were now people.
