I've got a shelf that I glued up with it in my bathroom back in 2002.

I prefer pink grip, I dont find the no nails as strong as pink grip although the glue can go off quickly in the tube. Its very strong glue

I bought some pretty handpainted tiles with numbers on in Spain to stick on the wooden facia board above the garage door. I stuck them up with No More Nails glue in about 2003, and they're still there!Here I go again on my own....0

Stuff that I from time to time need to glue/stick when doing DIY.
Saw some today and its says one of the surfaces must be porous which precludes it for some things I may want to use it on. Just goes to show there is no such thing as universal adhesive.A retired senior partner, in own agency, with 40 years experience in property sales & new build.

Silcone is good for non-porous items. It is tough when dried and stays flexible so will not crack. Not so good for shelves or other high load items but very strong used with flat panels. Items can also be removed (usually without damage) by sliding a knife behind them, unlike with some glues that set hard.0

We have builders renovating a house for us at the moment and they mentioned today that Evostick's Sticks Like Sh*t is a brilliant product and much better than No More Nails. I didn't believe there was such a product but they had a tube with them!0

Yep I agree with majority of posts, I have used no more nails for numerous DIY projects over the years, especially good for sticking skirting boards on.
I even used it once for sealing around a bath instead of silicon sealant, it was an accident when I picked up the wrong silicon gun it did a good job though and is still there to this day, I hope I never need to take the bath out :eek:
I also saw the Sticks like Sh*t a few years ago in screwfix, I had to double take when I saw it, it worked just as well as the other brand.
