I've been using Loctite 3x from the beginning of my elevator cladding business. I use it in combination with spray contact glue so I can slide my parts to exactly where I need them, whack em home on the contact glue with a rubber mallet and a wood block, and then roll the cladding flat. One thing you didn't mention and anyone who has used Liquid junk in the past is that there is a huge bubble about half way down inside of every tube...EVERY TUBE. The bubble gets compressed when you start dispensing the product, and then the bubble pushes out a ton more after you've squeezed out what you needed. It's a clever way for them to make you have to buy more because that bubble pushes out a LOT OF GLUE. Additionally, it takes forever to cure, and even when it does cure, your test shows the result. So glad you put their feet to the fire. Liquid Nails is not as the name would have you believe.

Gorrila construction adhesive is waterproof….It passed a 2 week flood test, no leaks. I use it to waterproof the seams of goboard backerboard in showers which is half the price compared to goboard sealant or wedi sealant, plus it acts as a flexible constructive adhesive which keeps the seams from cracking. Great stuff.

Thanks for taking the time and sharing. Helped me out for sure :)

Your test flicking awesome and very practical well done.

PL400 has been a contractor favorite for decades. But the new polyurethane foam-to-gel glues are quickly gaining ground due to speed of use - one can replaces 8 or more tubes of adhesive - less waste, faster to place (they have long wands available so no more bending over) and as cheap, or cheaper than PL400.

Best video for exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

Very educational bro. The best glue test on KZread.

Thank you- great video. I was just wondering what kind of glue to use on stair treads ..now I know ...will go lo Lowes tomortow.

I have used all three of these. I agree that the liquid nails is just okay. I have had GREAT luck with the Gorilla !! The workability is awesome (especially overhead) and I will go with this glue because of that. The PL, I have found, spews SO MUCH of the product all over the job site, that I can no longer stand to use it ! In my opinion, there are air bubbles in the tube that should not be there and they cause the pressure that pushes out the product even when you release the caulking gun.

Good test. Love it

I was scared for your toes. Glad you didn't get hurt.

Thanks! Very helpfull!

Thank you bro for the advice

Great info...thanks so much!!

Great video, great glue! Thank you! In order to use glue and dispense glue for more accurate flow control, without adding more glue, which affects the appearance and quality of the product, it is recommended to add a micro gear flow meter for control and monitoring 👋

Nice vid! I plan to use this on my the 2x6 sil plate for our new house. Should act as a seal + give additional holding power on top of the J bolt anchors that were unfortunately spaced for 2x4 walls.

I have some of those rubber interlocking floor tiles that I am trying to re-purpose and glue some pieces to a 2 x 6 plank. Being that I have two substrates, rubber and wood, what kind of glue should I use to glue that rubber to the wood?

The point of using liquid nail is not to hold the house together it is for eliminating that squeak noise when walking around and the poping and other noise here in older houses as it heats up and cools off and expands and contraction.

I hear Gorilla Glue is an excellent hair mousse!

Is there a way to detach two bricks that adhesive in between them without breaking them? I glue all of my bricks already and I had to buy new bricks. But they don't completely match. And I want to mix the new ones in with the old ones.

I want to glue 1/4 plywood boards to the top of my brick fireplace for a shiplap look. I dont want to use nails or screws. Would the Loctite work for that and does it stick pretty quickly? Trying to figure out how to hold the boards up there with pressure in order for it to dry for 24 hours ?

So, at "6:51 Time Stamp" did anyone else notice the White ORB fly from the-bottom-up, near on the right side of the screen?💫 It was very cool to watch!🙌 Thank you, for doing this very impressive video!👌. Two weeks ago, I settled on Locite PL Adhesive-because the Home Depot Worked recommended this product. I am happy, I decided to buy---because I am using today! Stay🌈Well! 😃 R~

Hi hope you can help me. I'm planning of putting wood shelves on my kitchen but i don't want to drill holes. Can this adhesive be used for such project?

Loctite Premium service temperature range is smaller than Gorilla Construction adhesive. 0F to 160F (-18C to 71C) for Loctite Premium versus -40F to 200F (-40C to 93C) for Gorilla Construction. The Loctite temp range is the same as that for all polyurethanes that I've looked at. I don't know what Gorilla Construction Adhesive is made of, but on Amazon someone asked if it was urethane based and a company rep answered no.

@jptrainor

5 жыл бұрын

Did more research.... I'm pretty sure that Gorilla Construction is silicone based. Because it has a higher temperature range then polyurethane, because it remains flexible, and because the msds says that it gives off methanol when curing. The latter is a tell tale sign of silicone. Although the msds doesn't explicitly list anything I can recognize as silicone.

Can any of these adhesives be used on ledger stone with cement board for an outdoor kitchen?

your test is for two pieces of wood. Wonder if you have any test for using these adhesives (or other brands) on say bathroom tiles to the wall? Which adhesive is best? TIA.

Thankyou

I tried liquid nails on my paneling and taped it to the wall. The paneling did curl out a little, I let it sit over night and the majority of it held but I do have a little section that didn’t. I just hope I got enough scraped of both to re glue with Gorilla Glue. Would it still bond if I didn’t get all the glue off both the panel and the wall? I hope this message is clear. Thanks James.

I test chain falls and comealongs to re cert them for use out on the job sites. we have whats called a dynamometer ap 10-10000 there is a needle that reads the weight then a second that reads peak weight, so you could hang that then hook your comealong to that and get to pulling and you would get a exact pound on your test.

Regret getting liquid nails. Put some 1x2 wood strips on my concrete walls in my garage to install some peg boards. I’m in Florida so it’s extremely humid in my garage,don’t know if that was a factor but after 3 weeks it failed. It was not under a lot of weight, ridiculous. Going to hardware store tomorrow and getting some self tapping screws and a Masonary drill bit. Something I should have done to start.

how does three glue compare on price? Liquid Nails Fuzeit is better comparison?

I’m sure it would work fine. You’ll have to find a way to compress it while it dries. I don’t see any way around that. Maybe a stack of block or something. Also, If it sees weather then I would definitely make sure you flash it in a way that deflects water and allows it to get out

Are you sure the glue application was consistent? Could someone else get different results for the identical test?

6:40 is example of creep. Over time the glue can weaken. It’s not just the tensile strength but for how long can the adhesive hold.
