<p>[quote user="ATLANTIC CENTRAL"]Again, as a construction professional very familiar with all these products, Liquidnails seems like it would be thick and messy for this job, not to mention it is not clear if it gets where you don't want it?[/quote]</p> <p>Ive found that it spreads prety easily with a 2" putty knife, and I use a laggers (pipe coverer is I guess the technical name for the trades person) knife to clean the left over liquid nails off the putty knife once it sets up. </p> <p>I also prefer the liquid nails, as its a pretty universal adheasive and has about a 20min working time. It is flexible enough to withstand temperature changes (modules go from around 20 degrees to about 70 degrees in a couple of hours in the building at the Amherst show, then up to about 80). Last day it goes from 80 to about 20 in a few short minutes. Humidity goes from very dry to slightly less dry back to very dry. Foam has yet to detach from the modules. Other adhesives have detached from the foam when the plywood moved (yes it moves).</p>
