Questions & Answers
I am finishing my basement. I am putting 1" Dricore EPS on the floor for a thermal break / vapor barrier. I am floating Advantech OSB subfloor on top of the EPS. Can I use PL400 to glue the OSB to the EPS?
Thank you for your question. Loctite PL 400 Subfloor All Weather Construction Adhesive is not recommended to be used for the project described. We suggest consulting the DRICORE manufacturer for proper installation and adhesion to their product.
Does PL 400 shrink?
Thank you for your question. Loctite PL 400 Subfloor All Weather Construction Adhesive is a latex, water-based adhesive and as the adhesive cures and water evaporates some shrinkage may be experienced. We recommend testing your application on scrap materials to ensure results are suitable and acceptable before use in the entire project.
Can pl 400 be painted over and if so, how long after applying can it be painted?
Thank you for your question. Loctite PL 400 Subfloor Construction Adhesive is not meant to be exposed. However, if for some reason it is, then it may be painted once fully cured. The full cure time is 2 to 7 days and is dependent upon temperature, humidity, substrate porosity, and the amount of adhesive used.
Pressure treated wood to brick
Thank you for your question. Treated wood needs to be well seasoned at least 6 months before using with any adhesive. Loctite PL 400 All Weather Subfloor Adhesive is a latex, water-based product and may have weak adhesion to treated wood products. We recommend testing adhesion to treated wood before using in your application. Treatments vary widely and can adversely impact adhesive bond and performance. A polyurethane construction adhesive such as Loctite PL Premium may be better suited depending on the specific details of your application and the use of mechanical fasteners may also be required regardless of which product is used. If you need further assistance, please give us a call at 1-800-624-7767 so we can help you.
Is this flexible after drying
Thank you for the question. Loctite PL 400 Subfloor All Weather dries to a solid when cured and is not flexible like a sealant would be.
Will this adhere to concrete and masonry?
Thank you for the question. Loctite PL 400 Subfloor All Weather will adhere to concrete and masonry. Feel free to reach out to our technical team to share the details of your project so we can assist you further.
can this be used to attach homesite to plywood?
Thank you for the question. Not knowing the details makes it difficult to say whether the product will be suitable for the intended use. Please give us a call at 1-800-624-7767 and let us know the details about your application so we can help you.
Many of products say coated wood. Most sub floors are bare wood. Will this work on bare wood?
Thank you for the question. Loctite PL 400 Subfloor All Weather Construction Adhesive is a latex, water-based product and will adhere to bare wood surfaces. If the wood is treated, we recommend testing for adhesion and suitable results prior to beginning your entire project. If you need further assistance, please reach out to our technical team.

Customers say the Loctite PL 400 Subfloor All-Weather Adhesive is a versatile and effective adhesive that performs well in various weather conditions. Many users appreciate its strong bonding capabilities and ease of application, particularly for subflooring and other home improvement projects. However, some customers have experienced difficulties with dispensing the product from the tube, noting that it can be thick and hard to squeeze out, which has led to mixed experiences regarding its usability. Overall, while the adhesive is praised for its performance, the consistency and ease of use have been common points of feedback.
