Re: Round Handrail

probably just construction adhesive. Gorilla Glue says it works on composite decking.

I believe that most composite manufactures are now putting out their own glue for use on their composite products.

Example:

If you have trouble locating some, Plumber's PVC glue should work as well as Gorilla glue.

Re: Round Handrail

Contact the manufacturer. Glues used for PVC and ABS are completely different.

Re: Round Handrail

I use a polyurathane construction adhesive and it works well on Correct Deck.
