Does Locktite PL Glue Work On Concrete?



If you have a concrete repair job that needs some careful application to repair then look no further than Loctite PL Premium.

The Loctite Premium glues are 3 times stronger than all of their competing adhesives. If you are thinking about Liquid Nails or Gorilla then think again, Loctite blows them away.

Locktite PL is a polyurethane glue which means it dries to an incredibly hard final state. It is also VOC compliant. It is water-proof so it can be used  in outdoor applications too. Finally, Loctite PL is paintable which can be very important if you want to hide your repairs.

This past weekend I spent some time on my patio working on an access opening to my home's crawl space. I am getting ready to fix a wood lid on the opening. In order to accomplish this task I needed to find a way to fasten some metal shelf brackets to the concrete. I was reluctant to drill holes and use tapcons because of my fear of cracking the cement. 

The solution for me was Locktite PL Premium. I used a relatively small amount of glue on the metal braces and then stuck them to the vertical concrete surface. There was enough tackiness to the glue to hold the braces in place. 

The cure time for this product is 24 hours so I put a cover over the opening and left it for the day. When I came back the next day the shelf brackets were secure and the glue was set in a very hard finish. 

This glue is very impressive. I will cut my plywood lid and paint it then rest it on the brackets. A longer and more tediuous job was avoided because of this great product

The video above demonstrates the amazing ability of this adhesive to connect wood, brick and metal. I can honestly say that I successfully used this glue to connect metal to a vertical concrete surface. It is truly a time and money saver.

Another great feature of this Locktite product is that it can be easily recapped and used again and again. This is not the case with other products and their inferior packaging.
