Truthfully, his belly ended up being a little more rotund than I intended, but it’s pretty good for a first experiment with something of this size.. I’d say he’s a keeper!
It sticks to pretty much anything, whether porous or non-porous, even things that are typically difficult for other adhesives like steel, PVC, glass, concrete, and porcelain, and since it’s 100% silicone it won’t shrink or lose adhesion over time.Plus it works super-fast, which is really the key to my heart.
In projects where you need to clamp something and let it dry, it builds strength quickly and offers up to 75% less clamp time than many other adhesives!So it’s basically the new glue of choice around here.Here are our largest moulding pieces, all cut out and ready to go.. We applied a bead of adhesive to them….
…and then we tacked the trim in place using just a couple of nails from the brad nailer..There isn’t really any way of using clamps on cabinets like this, so a couple of small nails were able to hold the heavy oak trim in place for us until the adhesive dried completely..
I really appreciate how this adhesive is clear and not yellow-ish, so it won’t mess up the nice clean look of our freshly-painted cabinets if we accidentally use too much!.
So here’s how that part of the trim looked after we got the main part of the mouldings back in place.If you’ll be sanding by hand, you’ll be REALLY happy that you took my advice because your life will be so much easier with just this little bit of sanding to do.
If you’re using an electric sander, make sure you’re super gentle with your sanding.I find it helps to use a really fine grit sand-paper that’s even a bit worn out to make sure I don’t overdo it..
I’m always so impressed and excited by what a big difference a bit of fresh drywall can make in a room.If your walls are looking a little wonky or rough, why not just replace them now that you know how easy it really is!.
