A word on adhesives...Lance tells me they use StaBond StaSeal 5000 to fasten the luan to the framing. Nobody carries this stuff. I called StaBond in LA and I was told minimum order was $200 and I needed a special pneumatic gun to apply it.
Lance was willing to sell it to me for $20 per 20 oz. bag....yes, per bag. It comes in a plastic wrapper like tollhouse cookie dough and their suggestion was that I cut the bag and smear it on with a putty knife.

I wonder if liquid nails you guys get down there is different than the liquid nails we get up here. I would never concider using ours for anything more than tacking on baseboards. I would have gone for something like construction adhesive like LePage PL for what your doing.
