Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure A method is provided for adding strength to a T bar grid fabricated with a double web and capped system. The addition of strength is achieved by coating the inside portion of the cap strip, or the bottom sides of the flanged area of the T bar which attach to the cap strip with a hot melt adhesive. Cooling sets the adhesive and results in the two parts of the grid member becoming a unitized structure.
