Do No Damage

Do No Damage

Cove and crown, batten and baseboard: Wall moldings go a long way toward enhancing a room, so long as their fragile surfaces aren't marred during installation. After all, when you nail trim pieces to the wall, you run the risk of leaving unsightly nail holes or indentations from mislaid hammer strikes. Adhesives are, by comparison, far gentler, but it's crucial to pick the right one. Some adhesives are specially formulated for use with select materials, but Liquid Nails Fuze*It works on almost every type of surface, the only exceptions being polyethylene and polypropylene.

Take Care of Tile

There are plenty of reasons to love tile. For one thing, it's easy to clean. For another, it lasts a lifetime—but it's definitely not invincible.

After all, moisture can spell trouble for both the tile installation and the subfloor beneath. Of course, you may not be prepared to install a new tile at a moment's notice, but right away, using nothing more than Liquid Nails Fuze*It, you can put the broken one back together for a temporary fix. Always at the ready, Liquid Nails Fuze*It is your new go-to.

Create a Stronger Bond

Create a Stronger Bond

Historically, chair rail molding served to protect plaster walls from being damaged by a pulled-out chair. Today, it still performs the same function, but homeowners primarily install it for decorative purposes, as a means of adding classic style and architectural interest. If you're a do-it-yourselfer planning a wall trim project, think about equipping yourself with construction adhesive. For one thing, the use of adhesive means you can drive fewer nails, saving effort and time. For another, a product like Liquid Nails Fuze*It creates a bond that's two times strong than fasteners alone.
