Proper gluing is the key to tight, strong joints. Every groove in every plank should receive a generous amount of glue that's applied in a long, continuous bead. The center herringbone section gets installed first. Several ratcheting band clamps hold the planks together until the glue dries, which takes about an hour. The contrasting teak border is installed after a spline joint is routed into the ends of the herringbone planks.
Excess glue is wiped off with a damp rag that's frequently rinsed clean.
