    Can I secure a floor plate with construction adhesive only ?
    Can I just use Liquid Nails to secure the bottom plate to a concrete floor ? I am building a 8' long and 8' high wall partition which will be nailed and/or screwed to side wall studs and top plate to overhead joists. So, is adhesive for bottom plate OK ? Thanks.
