[LouNY]

I have used this stuff on many things. It hasn't failed me yet

Lexel(R) by Sashco

From Lexel's website;

Where not to use:

On polystyrene insulation
Where temperatures exceed 200°F
In containment applications
Will not adhere to or is incompatible with Aquaseal®, Kynar®, polypropylene, polystyrene foam insulation, polyethylene, rubber, silicone, Styrofoam® (it dissolves it), Teflon®, vulcanized rubber, and waxes

Probably the best suggestion so far:

I would probably use Loctite PL300 Low VOC Foam board Adhesive ( Loctite(R) PL(R) 3 VOC Foamboard Adhesive ) or Liquid Nails Interior Projects & Foamboard Adhesive LN-604 ( Interior Projects & Foamboard Adhesive )

Well, it turns out, that sometime in the past year, I had purchased a tube of "Gorilla Construction Adhesive",, and had not used it.

The Liquid Nails product, that would not cure, is a "latex" which allows water cleanup while still uncured.

The Gorilla Adhesive required alcohol cleanup, so, at least the product is different.
The Gorilla label said it was for foam board, and both surfaces could be non-porous,,

So, I tried the Gorilla Construction Adhesive,, SUCCESS!! I then purchased several tubes of that,, all is going well now,,,

According to the label, when both surfaces are non-porous, cure time is about double,,
I put up the foam board with the adhesive, and a day later, all was attached.

I am now attaching 3/8" bead board (kinda like T1-11 with smaller, closer, grooves)
The bead board is going up fine, except,slow,,

Slow is OK, I am in no rush, the last few sheets should go up today,,

Next, I gotta decide if I should stain, or paint the bead board,,, I would like to do a white, except a white stain is not too common,,,??

Can I stain the bead board some sort of white, or light color, and allow the wood grain to still show?

I think that is what they call a milk wash paint now days.

I think that is what they call a milk wash paint now days.

Or an opaque stain.

Primer will give you a whitewash look that is similar to stain. I would test it before doing the walls and wait at least a day. It will look a lot different 24 hours after you apply it.

I have had reason to pull apart some 2 by's that were glued together to form beams.
To my surprise I discovered that the adhesives used were all dry and simply powder.
Now I can't say what brand or quality was used but am now aware that not all are what they are made up to be.
(I strongly suspect that it was the PL XXX something)
