Adhesive Glue Polyurethane
It's been my experience that the best adhesives for questionable surfaces is the Polyurethane glues. I agree that the Polyurethane based "PL Premium" caulk is definitely among the best choice in this situation. Realize, that the polyurethanes like "Gorilla Glue"(a liquid form) cure with humidity or moisture, like that which emits from your skin. So, I either wear a pair of the vinyl gloves or coat my hands with a shot of Wd-40 before I work with this. The polys will wipe off your hands with laquer thinner or mineral spirits if you get to them immediately before it sets up. Tip:When the caulk version of this adhesive is oozing from the joint(s), I let it set-up for a few hours before removing it with a sharp chisel or utility knife. Ottherwise, this will make a regretable mess. The same holds true with the liquid version, but I tape along both sides(if possible) of the seems before I clamp/glue them together. The liquid stuff will foam out for about an hour. just let it set up before you clean up the joints. Surprisingly, it sands off with minimum effort. Another alternative to polyurethanes would be "Liquid Nails- Heavy Duty", not to be mistaken for the original liquid nails. BTW that "Power Grab" in a caulk tube is totally Lame!
