Not so long ago, such an unusual concept as liquid nails entered the everyday life of builders. They were invented in the 60s in the USA. In fact, this is a special construction glue that can be used to connect a number of finishing materials. There are universal liquid nails on sale that can glue wood and metal, ceramics and glass, plastic and drywall together. But there are also specially designed compositions for a certain type of materials. The domestic market offers the consumer a wide range of domestic and foreign products. To make the right choice in this abundance, you should heed the advice of experts.

The main criteria for choosing liquid nails

1. When it is required to reliably dock heavy structures, it is better to give preference to neoprene liquid nails. They are made on the basis of artificial rubber, and an organic liquid, such as acetone, is used as a solvent. The main disadvantage of this product is considered to be a strong, persistent odor. Therefore, neoprene glue should be used in a ventilated room or outdoors. Even after finishing work, an unpleasant odor persists for 2-3 days. In addition, the composition is not suitable for gluing synthetic materials.
2. Liquid nails on a water-acrylic basis have less strength, but absolute safety. The composition is an odorless emulsion that does not emit toxic substances. The product is recommended for gluing lightweight plastic, wood products with a porous surface. The disadvantages include the lack of moisture and frost resistance.
3. An important parameter when performing a number of finishing operations is the speed of glue setting. If the connection is made on the floor, then this property can be neglected, but builders are unlikely to like holding even a light panel for a long time.
4. For convenient work with liquid nails, a special gun is required. It will help you apply glue to the surface sparingly and in dosage. The design of the pistol is simple; even a novice master can handle the device.
