i have in the past used black card bonded with PVA to each plank, this is then trimmed and finished and then waxed or varnished, i have used black thread also, , i have also heard about black tile grout being used ? , .... whats your tecnique, what adhesive do you use that is syringed in place and whats your secret, is it still the PVA and black powder paint mix too ?- does this not stain the plank wood grain ?
