I am installing a very cheap tub surround made by hudson.however,it is not clear on what specific kind of adhesive to use.I am aware that some adhesives will "melt" through some plastics.the "pro's" at home depot couldn't help.(big surprise)thanks.

Hi Dobber:

Titebond,liquid nails,DAP, and polyseamseal all make specific tub surround adhesives.. sold in caulking tubes in caulking area of home supply stores.

Read the tubes themselves... they all say TUB SURROUND ADHESIVE on them in big letters!

Hope that helped!! Mark

I'll be damned. I guess I never really paid attention to the tubes.Then again, I never had to install a surround.The only adhesive I'm familiar with is drywall glue.Been in the trade for 16 yrs. Thanks for the info
