At my electronics workshop I used Liquid Nails to glue plywood for the wire runs and boxes for the switch and outlet strips to the cement block wall.

Do you ever have these installations inspected? I doubt that they will pass.

No, it won't pass, but that's AHR for ya. I'm surprised someone didn't tell the OP to secure the box with concrete anchors until the LN dried.......then remove the anchors.

Yep. Without the duct tape around the edges, glue will not pass inspection. :-)
