Chair rail adhesive ?Super Glue?

Can I use Super glue to apply my polyurethane rails? The nails make a hole I can't see to fix and the liquid glue I bought doesn't seem to work.Chair rail adhesive ?Super Glue?
Liquid Nails is a good solution. Make sure you read the label and choose the right one. Some with solvents in them can eat away at foam, vinyl, plastic etc. These two will work:


Multi-Purpose Adhesive (BC-290)


Paneling %26amp; Molding (LN-606)


You may want to let it set for a few minutes before actually attaching it to the wall. If it still wants to slip simply apply a few pieces of masking tape until the adhesive sets up enough to hold the rail in place.Chair rail adhesive ?Super Glue?
Gorilla glue works the best. I used it to fix the pole on my bed 5 years ago and it is still holing strong.
Try some gorilla glue.
No, Super Glue does not offer the ability to flex with dryness and humidty so it'll eventually lose adhesion. There is a product called Liquid Nails available at hardware and home decorating stores that will do a much better job than Super Glue. Try that instead.
Get you a tube of Liquid Nail and a caulking gun. After you have marked your level line on the wall at the height that you want your rail, and have it cut to size, THEN apply the a bead of Liquid Nails on the back of your railing. Have someone help you hold it in place, and then secure it every 15'; or so with finishing nails.(They will have a tiny indentation in the head of them.) Get a ';nail set'; or use a big 16 penney nail to countersink your finishing nails~just below the surface~and then fill the holes with paintable caulking. Use a wet cloth or your finger to remove excess and smooth it out. If you are going with white, you may not even have to paint over it if you use white caulk:)


Good Luck!!
Super Glue (Cyanoacrylic) can damage polyurethane. Try contacting your local hardware and seek advise.
try construction adhesive, they make a variety for every purpose.
Loctite makes a product called PowerGrab that would work very well for your project. It is a construction adhesive much like Liquid Nails, but holds much better and is a lot less messy to use. I have used it on several remodeling projects, and I highly recommend it.
I would try Liquid Nails. It is in a tube found at your local hardware store or Wal-Mart. Super gule won't hold your chair rails.


Hope this helps..
