PVC Trim Adhesive and Sealant White

This stuff is such a pain to work with compared to regular caulk, but the results are absolutely worth it! I purchased this to secure quarter round along the base of a bathtub instead of using finish nails and needing to patch and paint. I applied according to the directions and haven’t had any issues since installing several weeks ago. The adhesion is strong, and we held it in place for 10-15 minutes until it seemed to be holding on its own. Since I had so much left, I decided to use it to also caulk the baseboards in the bathroom, and it’s my new favorite caulk for larger gaps… after several weeks of temperature changes and bathroom use, there is no cracking at all! Cleaning up during installation is low key a nightmare… it’s soooo sticky, but I think it’s worth it for a great finish. It’s much easier to peel excess from PVC once it’s dried.

I needed to attach 1.75”x80” PVC trim strips vertically to several sets of wood French windows to create a weather-resistant overlap, and discovered this product when watching a YouTube video about how to attach PVC to wood. I sanded the target areas down to the wood since I didn’t want to risk the adhesive not sticking to the (who knows how old) paint, and the product worked flawlessly.Since I didn’t know how thick the product would be, I bought myself a slick new caulk gun with an adjustable thrust ratio, but that turned out to be overkill. This product was no harder to apply than typical latex sealant. It went on evenly and smoothly. I did end up using the higher thrust ratio, but that was because I wanted to have better control over how much sealant I was applying. (Okay, I admit it, I also wanted to justify my new caulk gun since it is super-cool and I wanted to keep it.)The working time of the adhesive was fantastic. Lining up 80” pieces of trim with only two hands can be a challenge; this product provided enough immediate grip to hold the long PVC strip in place, but gave me plenty of working time to slide each piece of trim back and forth a tiny bit to make sure the adhesive was spread across the back side of the PVC and also to make small adjustments to get the alignment as close to perfect as possible. I then secured each piece with spring clamps and left them to set for about an hour. The result was a really strong bond. Although it was probably unnecessary, I also ran a small bead of sealant up the edge as added protection against water penetration.If you’ve never used this type of adhesive, don’t be as intimidated as I was. It turned out to be pretty darn easy and the results were excellent.5 stars.

Great for use as intended. Keep rubbing alcohol handy to clean up

Excellent PVC adhesive, but very difficult to clean up excess as it’s super sticky and not very water soluble. I highly recommend if you’re careful about application.

This adhesive/sealant works very well for gluing PVC panels together, and fills gaps well as a sealant. We made up our own column wraps from 1/2" PVC sheet stock, and this product worked great!

Used to put pvc trim around door.

I used this when putting on baseboard made of pvc. Worked like magic!

I bought 3 cartridges of this. The adhesive in the first cartridge began by coming out in a paste as expected but two-thirds of the way through the cartridge the consistency changed dramatically appearing as if it had semi set up in the cartridge and was being extruded. Fortunately I use a pneumatic caulking gun and was able to extrude the set-up portion of the cartridge and get to another section of the cartridge which returned to paste consistency. I assumed this to be a one off problem but encountered the semi set-up consistency at the ends of cartridges 2 and 3. This semi set-up portion had to be scraped off my work piece because the adhesive would not flatten out. I also did not get a full cartridge of useable adhesive in any of the cartridges.
