Uses

Used in conjunction with nails this strong adhesive increases structural stability by keeping joints tight to reduce racking; by holding boards firm to joists resists cupping which reduces nail loosening and popping; and by expanding to fill gaps reduces movement which leads to nail popping and squeaks.
