Titebond 4 Oz. PVC Trim Joint Adhesive

Used this on smaller projects using PVC Board and it works perfectly.

Don’t get it on you fingers

This is my husbands go to adhesive. He buys often

Stuff works great bonds fast holds strong

I had never installed PVC trim before, so I watched some videos and saw this adhesive being used. I gave it a try, and it works exactly as advertised, which is extremely well. Be advised, however, that you will get ONE opportunity for alignment of your parts. As soon as it grabs, it will not let go. I was creating miter joints, and through trial and error I found the best method was to test fit the parts, apply glue, bring the long points together, then bring the two surfaces of the joint into contact and hold it for 20 seconds. At that point, the adhesive had essentially set and I could add a single screw through the joint just in case. Also as advertised, it will bond skin instantly.

As far as adhesion this glue is five stars. But the chemists really need to go back to the drawing board to give more time to work with the glue. You get 30 seconds to align, and 20 seconds for initial set. I was using this on window trim with pocket screws. You have to be careful the joint doesn't need much glue. Too much and it comes out of the joint. You put in on the joint, line it up, pick up the driver and screw in the screws. At that point you aren't going to move the joint or get it apart. Should really have two minutes to work with the glue. And DON'T get it on your fingers.

This relatively thin glue allows several minutes of working time once applied, however once the curing process takes place - Nothing is going to move or break apart PVC "Wood" or other similar materials. This Glue is commonly used for products like AZEK - a simulated plastic wood material. It allows full and permanent bonding along long edges to make cases built over pressure treated or other lumber to be absolutely water proof. Certain bonds "board" arrangements become significantly reinforced structurally.Strongly recommend and suggest making sure the joint is not moved for a few hours once in final position. Bond will be permanent in the final configuration.

In all the time I've seen this stuff, there's never been a picture or description of what the stuff is. Short of going to their website and downloading an MSDS or some other such literature, there seems to be an effort to, at the very least, make it difficult to figure out what this stuff is.It's super glue. Cyanoacrylate, CA glue, whatever you want to call it. Nothing fancy about it, no special formula, no proprietary adhesive, just a large amount of super glue. If you can't find this stuff locally, or it's out of stock on here, grab some plain old super glue if you need to complete a job quickly and don't need 4 ounces of the stuff.The price for the amount IS good compared to the little tubes, but it suffers the same fate as all of these glues - it can and will dry out after it's been opened. How fast it happens is entirely up to how well the cap is on and sealed.As someone else pointed out, if you want anything more than 3-5 seconds of alignment time, you MUST apply it to BOTH pieces to get 10-ish seconds to move things a bit. If you only apply it to one piece, guess what, you better be on the money with it, because this stuff WILL grab and stick in 5 seconds or so.Is this better than using clear PVC cement from the plumbing aisle at your local hardware store (or here)? Well, it's easier to apply than using the dauber inside those PVC cement cans if you've got some miter joints or scarf joints to glue together, but if you've got a large strip or surface to cover, the dauber may be faster for you. Curing time is definitely longer than this super glue, and you may have slightly more open time to adjust or assemble your project, so that's for you to decide.Just don't operate under the assumption that you MUST have this stuff to glue PVC trim together, the dollar store stuff will work the exact same way if you don't require 4 ounces of the stuff.
