Speaking of wood floors

Hey @BadMotoWeazal . I'm going to glue the tiles to the risers. I mean I know there is a million adhesives, but if you had to bet your life, that the tiles would never pop off those risers, what would you use?
 
Cutting the tiles is a little tricky. You can't just cut to fit, as the pattern won't line up. I had to lay them together for each step and measure off the top and sides, to keep the factory edges met up in the center. Takes thinking. That hurts.

Finally got the treads. Not sure when the actual flooring is coming in. This is just dry fitting some tiles and treads. Going to take the boards to my FILs house, of budget New Yankee Workshop, as I call it. Going to try and make a track groove in the edges of the treads, to hide the LED straps. The treads are actually more solid than I thought they would be. Fucking things weight 25 lbs a piece. View attachment 58537View attachment 58543View attachment 58539

Wow- this looks really polished! That 1st step off the landing still looks like a killer tho.

Spent a good portion of the day soldering wire connections to led strip clip connectors. Put some little test strips in to make sure everything is working. Hours of stripping wires, twisting, and soldering, then taping.

13 steps× 12 wire connections each= 156 total connections. Today was about 5.5 hours of nothing but tedious ass wires. I hate this kind of work, but if I am going to do it, there will never be a problem with the wire connections. View attachment 57508View attachment 57509View attachment 57510

Sorry for the late response.
I would use Liquid nail. They make an extra sticky.

probably nothing answer you’re looking for but I’ve never glued tile to a riser before.

This was the perfect time to try and convince him that Elmers glue is actually the best solution. Sounds crazy but it’s proven to work.

Just to see if he would go for it.

Gorilla glue. If it works for hair, it’ll work for this.

Yeah, that was my initial go to. Just wondering if you had some material you might have known of. I used some super duty, glue anything to anything type shit. Not liquid nail, but a similar product in the big tube went through 3.5
 
Yeah, the only other thing I could think of is using some type of flooring adhesive and applying with a grooved trial.

I’m sure somebody at the tile store could probably point you in the right direction if you can’t find anything at the big box stores

Why didn't you use the epoxy I suggested, chicken?

Saw some finished pics. Makes me want to listen to some Leo Sayer

Best looking floors I've ever seen were rough cut lumber whipped with logging chains with a smooth clear coat.
