liquid nailsIf I had to be stranded on an island with only 10 tools, a caulk gun of liquid nails would be in the top 5.

This is an amazing adhesive that works with just about any kind of surface and when it dries you've got a substance as hard as wood.

It can be found everywhere for just a few bucks per tube, or if you have a really big project you can get it in a gallon paint can. I used a tube today on the footbridge and you can already feel a decrease in the bounce.
