The go-to heavy-duty construction adhesive when you need maximum strength and a bond that survives moisture and cold.

Pros

  • Very high bond strength that works on nearly any material including concrete, treated wood, and metal
  • Cures even in cold and damp conditions, so it holds up outdoors and in unheated spaces
  • Paintable and low-odor with no harsh solvent smell during application

Cons

  • Polyurethane foams and expands slightly as it cures, so joints need clamping or bracing
  • Cleanup requires mineral spirits, not water, and it stains skin and clothing badly
  • Opened cartridges tend to cure solid in the nozzle, wasting product if not resealed carefully
