1 Answer
Answer This Question
A:Â Thank you for the question. Normal dry time for Loctite Power Grab All-Purpose Construction Adhesive, in most applications, can be achieved in about 12 hours or more depending upon the porosity of the substrates being bonded. At least one bonding surface must be porous. Applications on low porosity surfaces may take 7 days or longer to achieve full strength. Dry time is dependent on temperature, humidity, porosity of substrate, and amount of adhesive applied.

Q:Can I use this to glue 20" tiles to Cement backer board
by|Dec 27, 2022
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A:Â Thank you for the question. Loctite Power Grab All Purpose Construction Adhesive is not well suited for use on most cement backer boards and would not be recommended. This is not to say you cannot try but without knowing the project details and because there are several types of backer boards available on the market it is not possible to predict your results. It is recommended that you test your intended application first to determine suitable and acceptable results before starting the project.

I bought this because of the name and that it was clear. I don't like using liquid nails because its not clear, and I know its hard to clean up if and when it squishes out. So, I thought clear would look better. Well the crap never dried with weight
24 hours later still not dry

Great adhesive!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loctite - Power Grab All Purpose it a great adhesive product. It's easy to use. I have a birdhouse that fell apart. I popped the Loctite in the caulk gun and removed the tip. The product came out fairly easily. Any extra wiped off with a damp paper towel. The pieces had to be held together for a few minutes to bond. I left time between stages to allow the product to begin to set before adding other sections. It holds relatively quick but takes 24 hours to cure. My birdhouse is in one piece again. Highly recommend!

Works like a pro!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this loctite power grab all purpose construction adhesive to install vinyl backsplash in the kitchen and it worked great. No nails needed. Just need a clauk gun and easy to apply. Adheres very well to the drywall.
Very strong adhesive power. We let it dry and cure for 24 hours and checked and it was just perfect.
Great for filling gaps between panels too. Very effective. We even used this to patch few small holes in the drywall and it worked really well. Love it !

I installed thin brick. this particular product will not only support the weight of the brick to the wall, it does not move much. I've done my entire basement using this product. I am planning on putting cabinets up that is why I did not finish the wall all the way to the end.
