Ply batten adhesive

Hi everyone,

Just picked up our new 2013 Transporter and starting to strip the back ready for conversion.

I have cut the battens for the floor and wanted some opinions on what to stick them down with.

My plan is to get a ply floor with the holes for the kombi rear seats and then secure it with the lashing points and cups, that way it cant really move around and wont need screwing down to the battens... (?)

I am just wondering if i can use silicone sealant to stick the battens down as they wont be screwed into and just used to level the floor (and could be removed more easily than something like Sikaflex if necessary).

Any advice or opinions welcome (be gentle I'm new to this )!

Cheers, Dub
 
I used Sikaflex 221 to stick the battens to the floor and then again to attach the floor to the battens. Been solid for the last 3 years.

When you placed the plywood flooring on top of batons with adhesive in between what was the thickness of the adhesive? How much pressure did you apply on floor to batons?
