My brother glued a board to his concrete garage floor once with liquid nails and had to pry it up with a crow bar. Part of the board stayed on the floor. He had to grind it off with one of those hand grinders like welders use.

it fails with only short time and exposure to UV. It's too thick to penetrate the wood at all. Like most thick glues it doesn't form a good bond with a material like wood, interfacial fractures are a result.

Under ideal conditions it works good, but it is best left for bonding constriction work in non critical areas. Your example is the ideal condition, cold substrate slows cure, moisture further slows cure (assuming non PU) one surface providing a perfect "tooth" for a mechanical bond, not a thin glue layer, the only way it could be better is if the wood was rough.


It's not a boat glue by any means.
