I used this product to glue plastic caps onto my deck posts. I thought it worked well until I found one of the caps laying in the yard a week later. I checked the other caps and found that almost all of them were simply laying on top of the posts. The glue bonded well to the old, weathered deck posts, but didn't bond at all to the clean plastic caps.

We are sorry to hear that our product did not work properly. It sounds like you may have purchased this product that was not well suited for your project. The PL premium Adhesive will bond to most plastic but not all plastics. It will not bond to plastics made of polypropylene or polyethylene. In general, most plastic deck caps are made from polypropylene or if they were recycled plastic, most likely composition containing a mix of these materials. This would explain why the adhesive did not work.

I like. It has a brownish color to it, if it matters to you. I used it to install a 31 inch quartz vanity on a 30 inch plywood cabinet. I put a thin line of this adhesive on the top of the cabinet, closer to the inside so it doesn't bleed out. I dropped the vanity top on it, and it held up nicely. I checked on it 2 hours later from under the sink, and it looked shiny. I thought it was wet, but it was not only super dry, but hard as a rock! I also used it to install the two back splashes. I'm letting it cure for a couple hours and then I'll silicone the top with something else.

This glue was used as a high performance glue for solid wood 3/4" flooring, and out performed much more expensive pure wood flooring glues and is MUCH easier to dispense in the large tubes than spreading the urethane glues with a trowel.

Used this product to anchor pvc sheathing and trim to pressure treated framing on my porch. Worked out terrific using ss nails as well to hold the 1/4" cellular pvc to the frame. No bowing or rippling. I have used this product for other applications including attaching to masonry and it has never failed. Great product.

I used this product to attach 4" X 8"X 2" cement bricks to a vinyl and concrete surface along my front pathway to the house. 130 bricks in all. The PL Premium was easy to work with and control the flow. I used the item several weeks ago and everything is rock solid. My granddaughters even walked along the top of them a few days after they were installed. No issues. Great product.

Good permanent bond. I use it to glue brass tubes into pen blanks before turning. It takes longer to dry than CA, but I don't have to worry that it will set when I only have the tube halfway in.

I fixed several different items with this. The main item was a piece of marble tile that a previous tenant had broken off. I spread this in the gap, put the broken chip back in and secured it place. Good as new. A little of the adhesive leaked out in the crack even after wiping (almost like it swelled the tiniest bit), but the color is similar to the tile and white/offwhite swirls it already had that you can't notice it unless you look for it. If you look at the picture, the swirl outlined in blue is actually the adhesive.

Just what I needed for the kids.
The adhesive was perfect for the job of sealing the holes in the kid's bounce house; it had to be an adhesive that was strong and waterproof.

Works perfectly (with clamp pressure)
PL adhesive is a strong as anything but it is only for certain applications:
1.) Must have excellent-good clamping pressure for strong results. PL fills gaps but the gaps are very weak. Does not fill gaps like epoxy does.
2.) Needs moisture to cure.
3.) Sticks almost as good as epoxy to exotic/oily woods.
4.) On large surface areas, spread with tiny notched trowel.
5.) It is almost impossible to remove from skin. Wear gloves.
I built my boat using PL (where I could apply clamp pressure at least!) and would use it again.

Mediocre at best
The adheasive that is used is great, as a urethane base adheasive, it sticks to everything. And that is the end of the good... The cartridges are awful, 8 out of 10 tubes I have ever used ( and I have used alot of them ) split on the sides, spewing glue all over the gun... This should not happen... Stop cheaping out on the cardboard tube Loctite.

I LOVE this stuff
NOTHING like it! I used this for subfloor. (Worked like a charm.) I've used it to seal air drafts in hidden areas. (Like the time I found mold on an interior/ exterior wall. Sealed the base..no problem) Recently I used it to glue tiny polished river rock to a support beam under a handicapped sink/counter. I have gotten nothing but compliments on the job, the PL color is hidden by the rock. (WARNING you an only do a few rows at a time or things slide off. TAKE YOUR TIME!)
Be sure to wear gloves, have a scrap piece of wood to lay the tube on.. and use a small heating pad to warm the tube . It helps the glue to flow better. HAPPY DESIGNING!
PS. I also used it on the floor where there were subtle changes in grade for a zero-clearance cricketed shower.If female, five foot nothing me can have fun with this..SO CAN YOU!

Excellent Adhesive for Bamboo
Tried this stuff as an alternative to the Roberts polyurethane adhesive in the 4 gal cans, which are messy, unsealable, wasteful and overpriced. This stuff applies with an oversized caulk gun and holds great. Use sparingly on concrete slab so it doues not expand when it cures, and especially keep out of the tongue and groove or it will push the solid bamboo slightly apart. Completed my 450 sq ft lanai with 11 cartridges, less than half the cost of the Roberts stuff
