I just installed bamboo flooring in a basement room (engineered, floating install) and am trying to install baseboard against the painted cinderblock walls. Part of the problem is that the cinderblock is far from being a flat, square surface. So, the 7 foot long baseboard sections need to flex a bit to come close to remaining flush to the wall.
I tried Loctite powergrab first but it wasn't strong enough. When I removed the weights I was using to clamp it to the wall after 24 hours, one end of the baseboard popped off the wall
It is cold here (Michigan) and even though the room is heated, I figured it may be that the cinderblok is just too cold. So, next I tried some heavy duty construction adhesive that is supposed to even work on wet or frozen lumber. It is supposed to work down to 40 degrees F. After 24 hours it was still a gooey mess.
Any suggestions? Am I crazy for considering Sumo or Gorilla glue?
