Is it better to nail or glue plywood underlayment for Laminate Flooring

Is it better to Nail or Glue plywood Underlayment. Well, I guess there is no correct answer but in terms of getting the most secure fit and hold, I would recommend doing a combination of the two, gluing and nailing. At least from the information I have learned online, seems to be the best route to go.

Some people will not be satisfied with merely nailing  plywood boards to hardwoods, such as Maple and Oak. So in this case it may be better to consider gluing your project as well as just using nails, or screws on the project.

When should you consider gluing  plywood to solid hardwood materials?

  If the project were a specific and small area and could be secured with just nails alone, that is not a problem. But, if you want to reinforce with glue and screws you'll likely have a more secure connection between plywood boards and a solid hardwood base. A Few small glue blocks, which should be applied to the underside of the woodblock, and then along the front and sides of the plywood, should give you a pretty solid hold. Then you can use glue and miter the joint to additionally secure the connection.
