Need to know the best adhesive for attaching wood trim around wood cabinets.

Trim will vary in size but mainly 1/2" to 3/4" corner trim. Will be attaching to painted drywall and wood cabinets finished with poly. There isn't anything to nail to so I'm looking into adhesive or any other suggestions.

Would like something that wouldn't need any clamping. I've used the Loctite Quick-grab on foam before and it didn't work for me. Would this stuff work great on wood and drywall?????? I'm looking for somehing that will work great.:laughing::laughing::laughing:

This is what comes to mind. It will work great but once applied it will never come off. Don't use the activator spray and you'll get a minute or two to hold and adjust.

Keep the product / kit out of the heat or your truck. Store it in the refrig. The humidity collects in the bottle and renders the chems useless.

I have the kit which has three viscountcies of the product.

Look at Rockler, Woodcraft, woodworkers supplies.
There are several cyanoacrylate (read super glue)
products for just this type of application.

I picked up a Titebond HiPurformer kit a few years ago from my local Rockler and it works great for these situations. Here's a link:

It is a little pricey, and the glue is pretty high too (about $10 a tube), but it sets up fast and strong.

I originally bought it 'cause I was in a time crunch to finish a job - I glued up 56 five piece doors with it the day I bought it and there haven't been any troubles with the joints in over 4 years.

I agree with hardly Working. i use the TB trim and molding glue and it always works very well. it also has a bit more "tack" to it which helps hold things in place

I'd say Loc-Tite Powergrab and micropin it for good measure.

Nice thing about the Loc-Tite other than the high initial tack is that it is water cleanup if any gooshes out on the edges.

PS- Loctite makes a Powergrab formulated for foam panels. Most construction adhesives are a no-no on foam.

glue option

I have had to glue small moulding pieces together and as you know using yellow glue and tape is tedious and messy I have found a spray glue called permagrip. Excellent for this reason...The down side is you can get overspray, but by covering the areas you can apply it no problem. It dries in minutes, spray both parts and stick it on. It bonds immedialety so you have to apply it precisely! some mini pin brads would not hurt after.;)
