Installing Garapa Wood Plugs
Standard Garapa wood decking installation involves screwing the S4S E4E Garapa deck boards directly into the joists. To achieve a more seamless look, we recommend hiding the screw holes with wood plugs milled to match.
1. Countersink 3/8" holes into face of deck boards.
2. Predrill 1/8" pilot holes completely through the deck boards.
3. Screw the deck boards down with stainless steel screws.
4. Glue garapa plugs into the holes with waterproof glue (i.e. Epoxy, Gorilla Glue, etc.).
5. Knock off plug tops with a chisel.
6. Sand smooth with 80 grit sandpaper (a round orbit sander works great).
