DIY Floating Boat Dock using SikaBond Construction Adhesive
For my floating dock I decided to use SikaBond Construction Adhesive to reinforce each plank prior to screwing them down. This flexible adhesive will create a watertight seal and prevent any excess water from seeping between the boards that would normally cause them to lift over time from weathering.

DIY Floating Boat Dock
In order to allow for shrinking/expanding of the boards as well as drainage I used a 1/4 in. sheet on wood to space each plank evenly.
Gluing Down Boards
Using my caulk gun, I applied a bead of SikaBond Construction Adhesive along the top of each joist and gently positioned eack board.

To complete my project I added 6 screws to fully secure each board, 2 screws per joist.
