    Default Which adhesive for the top strip of 1/4 round?

    Hey guys, I'm going to use quarter round as base cove moulding (wall is tiled, floor is vinyl), and I need some advice on the proper adhesive to use.

    This will be connected to the vinyl floor with a bead of caulk, but what kind of adhesive should I use for the top strip where it is attached to the wall? Maybe liquid nails? Other?

    Here is a diagram:



    Thanks for any suggestions!

    yep Johnny, liquid nails, pink grip, grip fill, that kinda stuff. Just be careful of it oozing over the top of the quadrant as it can look unsightly

    id use clear silicone for that, with the joint to the floor caulk can go hard over the years and the joint my seperate with the movement in the vinyl

    Thanks Marke, and thanks Marc. I hate using silicone cuz it gets so dirty looking, but my tile colour is almond, maybe the almond colour caulk will be a close enough match to not look horrible.
