How long does Liquid Nails take to hold?
But, for Liquid Nails to form a tight bond, it needs time to dry to its full hardness. Liquid Nails products require as little as 4 hours and as much as 24 hours to dry and typically require a full week to cure to their maximum strength.
Yes. Liquid nails dries very fast, taking about 15 minutes to dry with a maximum strength dry time of about seven days.
It's fantastic for construction uses or for making repairs around the house. Liquid Nails forms a secure bond between similar or dissimilar surfaces. Once applied, it creates the strongest bond of all adhesives. Plus, after it's dried, you'll get a long-lasting hold.
Liquid Nails INSTANT HOLD
A high performance advanced polymer construction adhesive that delivers instant hold up to 400kg/m² on any building material, even vertical surfaces*.
Liquid Nails HD was able to withstand 441lb, while Gorilla Glue construction adhesive held 846 lb. Using these results, we can deduce Gorilla Glue bonds better than Liquid Nails Heavy Duty.

The name of the world's strongest adhesive is DELO MONOPOX. This is a modified version of the high-temperature-resistant DELO MONOPOX HT2860. This epoxy resin forms a very dense network during heat curing.
What is the strongest Liquid Nails?
The Strongest From Start To Finish
Liquid Nails Fuze*It Max interior and exterior all-purpose construction adhesive delivers the strongest bond from start to finish* with both exceptional grab and long-term strength. Fuze*It Max sets the new standard for adhesives.
The strongest adhesive by far was the Loctite PL Fast Grab Premium. It held 115 pounds on the wood block and 92 pounds on the PVC block. The next strongest adhesive, Liquid Nail's Fuze It All Surface, held 100 pounds on the wood and 64 pounds on the PVC.
A nail is drywall is only able to hold a few pounds at most and should not exceed 10 pounds of weight.
But when should you use each? The quick answer: Wood glue is best used to bond two tight-fitting pieces of wood together. Liquid nails is better suited for other materials, or to secure wood when the joint between the pieces is loose or has gaps.
Clamping is not a requirement for Liquid Nails, but it is still generally suggested for a maximum strength bond. If you choose to clamp, I recommend doing so for at least 24 hours. This is enough time for the Liquid Nails to set.
Liquid Nails' extreme heavy-duty construction adhesive is suitable for those who need an ultrastrong bond in extreme temperatures. This adhesive is designed for construction in temperatures ranging from 22 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit and is ideal for outdoor application.

Will Liquid Nails stick to metal?
Liquid nails is a construction adhesive that's made from a latex compound. It's known for its strength and durability and can be used for a variety of applications. Liquid nails can be used on wood, metal, concrete, and even ceramic tiles. It is generally much more versatile than a polyurethane adhesive.
Liquid nails is highly resistant to heat, making it difficult to dissolve. As chemicals, heat and high pressure won't break it down; the only way to remove it is with physical force, which will stain the walls surface.

Non-porous surfaces — like plastics, metals and painted surfaces — can slow drying or curing time of construction adhesive and caulk from 24 hours to several days, or even weeks! It's recommended that at least one of the bonding surfaces be porous whenever possible.
Winner: liquid nails
As we've said, liquid nails are formulated for construction. So, naturally, it has stronger bonding properties than wood glue. As long as you follow the application instructions properly especially the drying time, you'll get unbeatable bonding results.
Use of the Day: WD-40 helps remove liquid nails from hands.
