I already tried the searchbar so u 14 year old ganstas can calm down.
Does anybody know what the deal is with liquid nails? Like how good are they compared to regular nails? And should I use them in a backyard rail or not. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

use nails for 2x4's and wood that needs to be sturdy, and u should probably use nails or screws to hold on pvc, but for boxes, i find it works really good to use a wood to plastic exterior liquid nail bonder thing to hold on the topsheet, but other then that just use nails or screws

Liquid nails are good for top sheets but not actual structure stuff.

this really only works with topsheet thats thicker than 1/4 inch. and a countersink bit helps a lot too

if you mean just the liquid nails holding in the support, then no, and you can probly just counter sink to the side of where you grind

When my dad and I built my setup, we used liquid nails along with screws on everything, making my setup rock hard
