Loctite PL Premium Fast Grab Polyurethane Construction Adhesive, Gray, 10 fl oz Cartridge, 1 Pack

This is a good construction adhesive if your looking for something that is fairly putty-like out of the tube. It isn't exactly free-flowing in it's application. It's also hard to get out of the tube at first. You need to puncture down the spout about 4" to open the flow. It could be that the tube I ordered was a bit drier than normal. However, it's putty-like texture makes it easier to control and less messy as some other fast flowing products. Overall, it worked well for gluing a pliable flooring transition strip down to a hardwood base. Also, I'll always use gloves when working with this product because it's amazingly easy to get on your hands and very difficult to get off.

This stuff is mean! I don't know what you could compare it to? A strange mix between liquid nails, aluminum, and expanding foam? I know that's not the chemical composition, but it grips like crazy!

I bought this to repair a miniature lighthouse where I needed to glue Styrofoam pieces back together. It worked perfectly. The fast grab made positioning easy, and once it cured, the repair felt solid and secure. Pros: * Excellent initial grab. * Strong, durable bond after curing. * Worked great on Styrofoam without damaging it. * Easy to apply with a standard caulk gun. * Versatile enough for a wide variety of projects. Cons: * It cures quickly, so make sure everything is positioned correctly before it sets. This was exactly the right product for my repair. It bonded the Styrofoam perfectly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use it again.

An excellent blend of grab and cure. Holds well and dries fast. This is my go to construction adhesive for outdoor project. Works well around water as well.

I bought this to attach a roller shade to a fiberglass door and also used it to hang some robe hooks on the back of 2 plastic hollow closet doors. It worked well but a few additional steps were necessary. I chose this product because of its “fast grab” properties thinking I could glue up pieces onto a heavy vertical door without having to unhinge it. It is viscous and very difficult to squeeze out and to spread on the surface once applied. The solution ended up being heating the cartridge in the oven. I set our oven on its lowest temp, 175F and put the tube of Loctite in for about 20 minutes on a foil sheet. I removed it when I felt the plastic tip going soft. This allowed me to use it in a cheap caulking gun without trouble. I think it also sped up the curing time significantly compared to the non-heated attempt. Once it had it applied, it was still very thick and it was very helpful to use clamps, not to secure it in place, but rather to spread it evenly. The time I tried not clamping I ended up with it about 1/8” off the door because of the thickness of the unspread glue bead. I applied this in the winter in a desert climate with relative humidity in the low 20’s. To cure, this product seems to need to pull water from the air to react. I found that in our dry conditions if I did not mist the glue joint with water it didn’t set up even after hours. The two times I applied heat and water it worked as I hoped, with a grab time of about 30 minutes and rock solid the next day.

PL-8X, grayish-white poly urethane, it is very strong, thick, hardens over night, does not appear flexible, a 25:1 caulk gun is an absolute must, a 12:1 gun is nearly impossible to use.

Worked as it should. Did a great job. Very hard to dispense using caulk gun. Too stiff/firm.

This is a good product which I usually buy locally. The cartridge also looks old, like it's been sitting on a shelf for a long time and it is a bit dry and difficult to squeeze out. It is also misshapen on the open end. The result may be that the adhesive comes out the bottom as well as the nozzle.

Too thick to get out of the tube. Probably a good glue but perhaps sold too late to be of any use.
