Window board fastening question. I am milling up some one piece oak boards to replace all the internal cills in our house. I'd like to attach them without any visible fasteners. The deepest board will be about 200 and 30mm thick so perhaps will be some wood movement to contend with. I'll be Osmoing both sides of the boards. It's going onto a solid brick wall (no cavity).
Can I get away with adhesive alone? I have a tub of sumogrip in front of me which is a polymer adhesive, will it work? Or how about some polyurethane foam adhesive?

Thanks. I had a go - nails just bent over. Render 1, Clips 0. I wish 2mm masonary bits existed so I could pre drill.
Thanks for the link for the trunking, that's spot on for another job I need to sort, but for this TV aerial I'd like to avoid trunking if possible so need to figure out a way to get these clips on.

Any tips on removing a window board / cill without devastating the plaster around it? My current thinking is to get oscillating tool bits like this and just go around all the edges to try and loosen it from the plaster, but if anyone has a better idea I'm all ears. The edges of the cill are notched around the sides of window reveals, and I know at least one layer of plaster has been slapped on with it in place so it's pretty buried in there.

Thanks. What varnish and what glue did you use? Also what's the purpose behind the rebate?
