glue advice

Feb 27, 2008 6 Replies

Bought this 4 inch high "peel and stick" type vinyl baseboard stuff (bought a 100' roll) and it held great for about three months, then started falling off. I would like to buy a glue in a caulk form that would stick this to the wall like sh*t to a blanket....was going to use air nailer and staples, but that would be too "redneck"....The application of this vinyl baseboard is going on a cement floor with floor heat thats covered in lino and am gluing this to primed and painted gyprock walls..thanks for any constructive advice...regards...Jim

I used Liquid Nails as per pro advice. Works great.

Cove base glue comes in a tube at my local Menards. Not sure where you live but I would guess that Lowe's and Home Depot have it too.

There are polyurethane glues in a cartridge that will hold anything. I built a precast stone wall with it.

Try these:

Use cove base adhesive. I prefer Flexco or Henry's.

Do not use solvent based panel adhesive like liquid nail, it can wrinkle and show through the base.

If you have a lot to do, get one of these:
