Need expert advise
. Two quick questions.
(1) I have finished the DD/GG to Hat channel and clips to studs phase. Ready to attach 1" furring around doors, under trim to give a 1" gap for linacoustic, batting, fabric on walls and soffits. I plan to rip 2x4 per Big's suggestion for the furring. I plan to attach to furring to DD with construction adhesive and angle pneumatic 2" trim nails every 6-12 ". For fabricmate planned on stapling with 7/8" staples on angle every 3-4" without adhesive. Do you think this will hold on horizontal surfaces such as under the soffits? Is glue overkill? I had planned to use drywall screws only to attach furring to DD, but it strips out the drywall when trying to bury the head of the screw. I am attaching to DD only with no wood backing.
(2) I am thinking about skipping fabricmate due to the cost. Prestapleing the fabric to the furring then attaching it to the wall seems difficult. If I do this method I need to omit construction adhesive do to the mess. Anyone use wall anchors to hold furring to DD with drywall screws for extra strength? Any preferred technique? Thanks for any advise, Marty
