What is the "best" way to put wooden caps on wooden fence posts?
Old school has a pre-drilled hole which a screw is put through the cap into the post with a bed of silicone in between. Wife is convinced that the cap should be glued (gripfix or similar) to the post. I doubt this gluing as the grain on the post is vertical whilst that of the cap will be horizontal and I have always been told that wood should never be fixed immobile with grains at right angles. Would the Gripfill be flexible enough to cope with any minor shifting due to expansion.
