I need to reattach the edges of a tub surround in several places. Along an outside edge, the surface is painted cement board. There are also two places where the corner piece has come loose along an edge, so both surfaces will be the plastic tub surround itself. Online information says that DAP Beats-The-Nail Tub Surround Construction Adhesive is specifically designed for these surfaces, but I can't find anyone who carries it locally, so it would be a special order item for me.
What experience do you have with adhesives in this situation? Several years ago I had a catastrophic failure with the tub surround adhesive which a Home Depot employee directed me to, Loctite brand, IIRC. The information on that label indicated that it was the right adhesive for the job, but it could hardly have been more wrong. I'd like to avoid having this minor repair job turn into a disaster, if possible.
Thanks,
Stan
