I've been using Loctite 3x from the beginning of my elevator cladding business. I use it in combination with spray contact glue so I can slide my parts to exactly where I need them, whack em home on the contact glue with a rubber mallet and a wood block, and then roll the cladding flat. One thing you didn't mention and anyone who has used Liquid junk in the past is that there is a huge bubble about half way down inside of every tube...EVERY TUBE. The bubble gets compressed when you start dispensing the product, and then the bubble pushes out a ton more after you've squeezed out what you needed. It's a clever way for them to make you have to buy more because that bubble pushes out a LOT OF GLUE. Additionally, it takes forever to cure, and even when it does cure, your test shows the result. So glad you put their feet to the fire. Liquid Nails is not as the name would have you believe.
PL400 has been a contractor favorite for decades. But the new polyurethane foam-to-gel glues are quickly gaining ground due to speed of use - one can replaces 8 or more tubes of adhesive - less waste, faster to place (they have long wands available so no more bending over) and as cheap, or cheaper than PL400.
Gorrila construction adhesive is waterproof….It passed a 2 week flood test, no leaks. I use it to waterproof the seams of goboard backerboard in showers which is half the price compared to goboard sealant or wedi sealant, plus it acts as a flexible constructive adhesive which keeps the seams from cracking. Great stuff.
I have used all three of these. I agree that the liquid nails is just okay. I have had GREAT luck with the Gorilla !! The workability is awesome (especially overhead) and I will go with this glue because of that. The PL, I have found, spews SO MUCH of the product all over the job site, that I can no longer stand to use it ! In my opinion, there are air bubbles in the tube that should not be there and they cause the pressure that pushes out the product even when you release the caulking gun.
For accurate testing, you should place the blocks exactly the same way for each testing. A force measurement gauge would be a better way if testing more accurately.
TheDurbinCompound I’ve never had any luck with the regular glue from Gorilla Glue. I’ve had 500 lbs on Loctite for 10 years, no problem. I like the Liquid Nails for paneling etc.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I build wooden doll houses....bird houses and lots of crafty items. This was sooo helpful😊 I'm purchasing Loctite today!
The point of using liquid nail is not to hold the house together it is for eliminating that squeak noise when walking around and the poping and other noise here in older houses as it heats up and cools off and expands and contraction.
Regret getting liquid nails. Put some 1x2 wood strips on my concrete walls in my garage to install some peg boards. I’m in Florida so it’s extremely humid in my garage,don’t know if that was a factor but after 3 weeks it failed. It was not under a lot of weight, ridiculous. Going to hardware store tomorrow and getting some self tapping screws and a Masonary drill bit. Something I should have done to start.
I was actually surprised the liquid nails even lifted those buckets of concrete. It's dirt cheap and apparently stronger than what I need it for. But if I ever need something really strong, now I know to throw loctite premium in the cart. Thanks for the experiment
Great video, great glue! Thank you! In order to use glue and dispense glue for more accurate flow control, without adding more glue, which affects the appearance and quality of the product, it is recommended to add a micro gear flow meter for control and monitoring 👋
I tried liquid nails on my paneling and taped it to the wall. The paneling did curl out a little, I let it sit over night and the majority of it held but I do have a little section that didn’t. I just hope I got enough scraped of both to re glue with Gorilla Glue. Would it still bond if I didn’t get all the glue off both the panel and the wall? I hope this message is clear. Thanks James.
So I got a question,I just had installed a drainage system in my basement,the problem now I got it s that I’m not Allowed to frame the wall with any Nails 🤷♂️they told me to use only adhesive.I’m not allowed to crack the new concrete.Please let me know if and what kind of adhesive to use.
I want to glue 1/4 plywood boards to the top of my brick fireplace for a shiplap look. I dont want to use nails or screws. Would the Loctite work for that and does it stick pretty quickly? Trying to figure out how to hold the boards up there with pressure in order for it to dry for 24 hours ?
Here are 5 bullet points summarizing the key information from the transcript: Tested 3 construction adhesives: Liquid Nails, Gorilla Glue, Loctite Premium Did tensile strength test by gluing wood blocks and adding weight until failure Liquid Nails failed between 360-440 lbs Gorilla Glue failed around 900 lbs Loctite Premium held up to 840 lbs without failing, declared winner due to strength and lower price point than Gorilla Glue
I test chain falls and comealongs to re cert them for use out on the job sites. we have whats called a dynamometer ap 10-10000 there is a needle that reads the weight then a second that reads peak weight, so you could hang that then hook your comealong to that and get to pulling and you would get a exact pound on your test. But your way works to.
@@TheDurbinCompound just depends on the kind you get, the one we have is 1,300 but there are less pricey ones out there. its like a fish scale but for heavy testing instead of having a light limit, also would love to see one with the concrete blocks.
your test is for two pieces of wood. Wonder if you have any test for using these adhesives (or other brands) on say bathroom tiles to the wall? Which adhesive is best? TIA.
So, at "6:51 Time Stamp" did anyone else notice the White ORB fly from the-bottom-up, near on the right side of the screen?💫 It was very cool to watch!🙌 Thank you, for doing this very impressive video!👌. Two weeks ago, I settled on Locite PL Adhesive-because the Home Depot Worked recommended this product. I am happy, I decided to buy---because I am using today! Stay🌈Well! 😃 R~
Personally I would never glue down subfloor. And I'm a guy that uses construction adhesive a lot. Use screws only for subfloor... because what if you ever need to take it up again? Screws will prevent squeaking on their own but can be removed if needed. In that regard, it might even be a good thing that liquid nails isn't that strong.
awesome video !!! Hey what is the strongest glue to put paneling on drywall? Would it still be Loctite premium? What is the exact name of Loctite for me to buy? They have so many to choose from...thanks Mark in Phoenix
Hey Mark, I would use whatever you’d like for covering drywall like that. I wouldn’t would about the best. The best from this test was Loctite Premium 8X.
I think HD Liquid Nails would be ok to use for lighter duty applications . My local Wal-Mart had it on Clearance for $1.00 a tube ...so I bought a few . After watching this video ...i am still going to use it for glueing rigid foam insulation onto wood plywood etc
Loctite Premium service temperature range is smaller than Gorilla Construction adhesive. 0F to 160F (-18C to 71C) for Loctite Premium versus -40F to 200F (-40C to 93C) for Gorilla Construction. The Loctite temp range is the same as that for all polyurethanes that I've looked at. I don't know what Gorilla Construction Adhesive is made of, but on Amazon someone asked if it was urethane based and a company rep answered no.
Did more research.... I'm pretty sure that Gorilla Construction is silicone based. Because it has a higher temperature range then polyurethane, because it remains flexible, and because the msds says that it gives off methanol when curing. The latter is a tell tale sign of silicone. Although the msds doesn't explicitly list anything I can recognize as silicone.
Is there a way to detach two bricks that adhesive in between them without breaking them? I glue all of my bricks already and I had to buy new bricks. But they don't completely match. And I want to mix the new ones in with the old ones.
I physically attached the subfloor piece to one block. So the test was only being conducted on one surface. Didn’t want one piece breaking on one side and the other breaking on the other, making it unfair
Next time make or use a pallet and wire the pallet to the wood. This way you can add the additional weight evenly and you can put more weight on the pallet without worrying so much that it is going to fall off.
Just found your video Devin and great job on the tensile strength testing. Little dangerous for the toes and hope you guys were wearing steel toe shoes. Always wonder what brands were better at this and glad the brand I use came out on top. Just subbed too. Keep the contents coming.
liquid nails take atleast 24 hours to gain half its strength, full cure is 7 days. Gorrilla glue and loctite are 24 hours, big difference. How long were they allowed to cure for before testing is the question?

A lot of fun to watch. Do the 2 both have equal drying times?
I have some of those rubber interlocking floor tiles that I am trying to re-purpose and glue some pieces to a 2 x 6 plank. Being that I have two substrates, rubber and wood, what kind of glue should I use to glue that rubber to the wood?
@@TheDurbinCompound Nice ! Thank you for your service. My cousin is also a Marine and was in Afghanistan and Iraq. Miracle he came back alive and in 1 piece.
Wow! First of all, I agree with Fernando! Toe's!!!!!! Secondly, we are getting ready to 'overlay' 2 ugly, old, concrete slab patio's, using patio paver's. I was trying to figure out which method was best without dealing with mortar or any of that. This will do the trick I'm convinced! Thank you! Awesome test!
Good test, however spotted that failure mode right from the beginning. Why the heck didn't you just lower the weights to the ground BEFORE getting your toes underneath it unloading? Seemed like you almost got clocked in the face on the first test when it failed. Gotta sub for when someone looses a limb sooner or later...
I need a glue that will bond wood to concrete. The concrete footings of my house are 45ish years old and any drilling or nailing just shatters the concrete. I'd like to put some nice trim boards on the footings.
Hi hope you can help me. I'm planning of putting wood shelves on my kitchen but i don't want to drill holes. Can this adhesive be used for such project?
Could any of these be used on a stone wall? I'm trying to hang a clock without having to drill into it. I was thinking about gluing hooks to the stone wall then hanging the clock on the hooks the clock is about 4ft round and about 20 pounds
I’d recommend a fast setting adhesive or mortar for brick veneer. The construction adhesives need a clamp time to setup and cure for vertical application.
I'm a fan of Loctite 3, but I wouldn't dismiss the Liquid Nails. Liquid Nails at the price will depending on the application exceed bonding requirements and on a big job, or series of jobs, on given applications present the most value.
If I just want to hang some string lights from a concrete ceiling and concrete pillars without drilling into them, an adhesive would work, right? Maybe glue a small plate with an eye hook to the surface of the concrete? Does anyone know how weather affects the adhesive properties over time? Living in Houston it doesn't get all that cold. It only rarely gets as low as the high 20s. Thanks for any information you might provide.
I think your idea would work great! The lights wouldn’t have much weight to them. I think this would withstand a lot! With your warmer climate and sun only affecting the small surface area of glue exposed......I don’t think you will see anything bad for a few years!
Look for project farm, for ideas on testing products. Excellent video and I use loctite x3 for things that wont budge and I also use, loctite x8 for things that will NEVER budge....
Hi I'm trying to attach L-shaped/ sheet metal pieces to foundation of house, to come up and seal foundation, leaving No gap where singles/siding/foundation, where mice can get into house. don't want to drills into foundation and no real way to clamp it on while glue/adhesive dries. Would the product you used work for this project, if Not any idea's would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bill
I’m sure it would work fine. You’ll have to find a way to compress it while it dries. I don’t see any way around that. Maybe a stack of block or something. Also, If it sees weather then I would definitely make sure you flash it in a way that deflects water and allows it to get out
Great video. So what's the big negative against using this over a premium wood glue? Seems like a superior bond (cost aside) for building stuff like large PA cabs that get tossed around a lot.
Nice work. I dont believe the Loctite is waterproof and the Gorilla glue is for sure, if that matters to those interested. I use both and they both have been excellent, I use the Gorilla for my marine applications because its water proof
Nice vid! I plan to use this on my the 2x6 sil plate for our new house. Should act as a seal + give additional holding power on top of the J bolt anchors that were unfortunately spaced for 2x4 walls.
You could simply use a construction adhesive. It will probably hold up for awhile. A water based mortar will soak the wood and it will take a long time to dry out.
I've been using Loctite 3x from the beginning of my elevator cladding business. I use it in combination with spray contact glue so I can slide my parts to exactly where I need them, whack em home on the contact glue with a rubber mallet and a wood block, and then roll the cladding flat.

And of these would be more the ample for curtains even if someone use them as a swing 😂

For accurate testing, you should place the blocks exactly the same way for each testing. A force measurement gauge would be a better way if testing more accurately.

Good test. Love it
Nice work. I dont believe the Loctite is waterproof and the Gorilla glue is for sure, if that matters to those interested. I use both and they both have been excellent, I use the Gorilla for my marine applications because its water proof
I'm using gorilla brand to rebond the siding to the back wall of my camper for that same reason.
Nice vid! I plan to use this on my the 2x6 sil plate for our new house. Should act as a seal + give additional holding power on top of the J bolt anchors that were unfortunately spaced for 2x4 walls.
How can I bond wood and marble together without using backer board
You could simply use a construction adhesive. It will probably hold up for awhile. A water based mortar will soak the wood and it will take a long time to dry out.
Be safe! That could have gone really badly...
