Thank you

I like the look

I plan on using 1 1/2" 18 guage 1/4" staples in the joists. I am going to do the full coverage of the adhesive because I don't want any sag or waves, and I don't mind the extra work. I am getting really healthy and this will be my exercise/work thru the cold months. I enjoy working on spaces...

Because I like the look of it. I love the wood look. I've done an entire bathroom, floor, walls, and ceiling in wood. But I think that's too much for a garage, even tho it's going to be one of my favorite places to be, and I'll spend a lot of time there.

What I'm trying to accomplish is this: I want to install 1/8" thick MDF panel on my drywall ceiling in my garage. Like these: https://www.lowes.com/pd/48-in-x-8-ft-Smooth-Weathered-Barnboard-Wall-Panel/1000701468 I am not trying to accomplish sofit, or anything white. If I was, I'd just...

Looks good! I am not familiar with masonite, but I looked it up, and it sounds similar, some kind of pressboard. So If I'm using adhesive and 1 1/2" staples that would even hold better than what you did.

How did you attach the osb. What fasteners and any adhesive?

Yes, and I would state that too if I made the product, because, most people would not go to extra lengths required to hold it up correctly, and there would be complaints. I realize that it is not made for ceilings, and I plan to compensate for that.

I plan on full coverage with FRP adhesive applied with a 1/8" v notched trowel

Yes, I've heard that the adhesive I bought is extremely sticky and will hold it well. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Titebond-Greenchoice-Brown-Frp-Construction-Adhesive-Actual-Net-Contents-448-Fl-Oz/3227253 And I think the staples into the joists will do the rest. I may even staple in between the...

Thanks, good ideas. I am not concerned about it looking perfect, but I do want it to look as good as possible. These are good things to think about.

I've been busy, thanks for all the replies. I will try to reply now to them.

Thanks for all the replies. I think I like this idea I got from another forum: I would use FRP adhesive applied with a 1/8" v notched trowel and locate the ceiling joists and use a 2" narrow crown stapler to fasten the panels. Nails will tend to pull through or blow through such a thin sheet...

Thanks, I don't want to spray anything. The garage is absolutely 100% dry. Is that still a problem just due to condensation and such? I mean it's really dry in there.

Hi, I want to install 1/8" thick MDF panel on my drywall ceiling in my garage. Like these: https://www.lowes.com/pd/48-in-x-8-ft-Smooth-Weathered-Barnboard-Wall-Panel/1000701468 I have a pancake compressor with a craftsman brad nailer that I've used in the past to nail cedar tongue and...

I would not put glue with your food just keep it loose in there and it's not going to stick well anyway with the condensation

God

I like buying a new set then you have a whole lot of spares
