Advantages and disadvantages
First, we will focus on the advantages of liquid nail formulations.
- The scope and ease of operation.
- Excellent adhesion indicator with a variety of materials.
- Reliability of connection. The layer easily transfers the load up to 80 kilograms per square centimeter.
- The product is not subject to the formation of rust.
- During the work with construction glue dust and dirt is not formed. And also there is no noise.
- The composition quickly sets, literally in seconds.
- Liquid nails can be used on surfaces that are defective. The product greatly simplifies the process of laying material on curved bases.
- Unlike standard mounts, glue maintains the integrity of the surface without destroying it.
- The compositions offered by modern manufacturers are safe for health due to non-toxic elements.
- A quality product is not afraid of increased moisture.Some compounds withstand low temperatures.
- Excellent resistance to fire.
- Favorable expense.
Experts claim that there are no significant deficiencies in the products. Is that some compounds have a sharp and unpleasant smell.
However, thanks to modern technologies and developments, more and more adhesives with a neutral odor are being produced. And also some types have restrictions on use.

- No need to apply the composition on all grounds. Stripes or dashed lines will be quite enough.
- For greater convenience, use a special gun.
- To protect indoor furniture and other items, use tape, thick fabric or newspapers.
- Remember that the setting process takes a second, so the work must be done quickly. After you need to securely connect the parts and hold them for about two minutes, tightly pressing each other.
- The process of complete hardening occurs in about a day. During this time it is recommended not to load the connected elements.
Removing adhesive from the surface
If the job is performed by a novice, then there are no errors in the process.
There are several ways to remove glue particles.
- As long as the composition retains its softness and elasticity, it can be easily washed off with a regular soap solution.
