It can even bond in a wide range of temperatures from 22° F to 120° F (-5°C to 49°C), so it can be used in a variety of climates with no problem at all, regardless of which variation of Liquid Nails you use. It can bond easily with multi-textured surfaces and dries within only a few seconds. All of them are at the very least water-resistant and one, LN-3000 is even fully waterproof.
What You Need in Order Use Liquid Nails
Since Liquid Nails is a construction adhesive, a caulking gun will be needed to be able to get the glue out, regardless of which one you get. Once you have a caulking gun, you can place your adhesive bottle in it, cut off the tip, and use either a nail or a wire to puncture the inner seal and then you can start gluing. If you get Liquid Nails in any unwanted areas, you can use water to clean it up if it is still wet or any adhesive remover if it has dried.
What are the differences between the 4 Liquid Nails Variations?
- LN-907 is latex-based and has the Greenguard Gold Standard for being a low-emitting material. It is excellent for all things drywall, interior brick design, plywood, tileboard, foamboard, particleboard, cementboard, and treated lumber. However, it is not a great choice for other materials like ceramic, plastics, vinyl, granite, marble, and mirrors. It should also not be used for outdoor projects as it is not as weatherproof as some of its counterparts.
- LN-3000 (aka Fuze It Max) is good for all interior and exterior applications and can dry at even lower and higher temperatures than LN-907. It is 100% waterproof and it will bond with any material except Teflon, polyethylene, and polypropylene. It is the best option for someone that needs more versatility in their construction adhesive, particularly if the projects are outdoors.
- LN-704 is another latex-based adhesive with the Greenguard Gold Standard, only this one is safer to use indoors as it does not emit harmful fumes. This is the recommended product for projects involving paneling, ceramic tile repairs, hardwood flooring, and molding. It will not bond with mirrors, vinyl, plastic, marble, and granite.
- LN-903 is a low-solvent and high-strength adhesive that is water and weather-resistant, making it ideal for both indoor at outdoor projects. It would be no good for marine applications, but it can withstand a rainy day with no problem. This adhesive is recommended for interior imitations stone, ceiling tiles, plywood, drywall, tileboard, waferboard, and treated lumber. Like the others, though, it will not work on mirrors, granite, marble, and it also is not recommended for flooring.
