I did some copy work for a forensic engineer that was investigating an
accident where a carpenter, who had used Liquid Nails to secure a new
sub floor, had ignited the trapped Liquid Nails vapors between the old
floor and the new decking. The entire floor blew upward, propelling
the carpenter into the ceiling, breaking his neck and killing him. He
was using a nail gun that apparently struck another nail that created
a spark.

Blimey. That sounds like a pretty good reason to stick to the
solvent-free stuff, then.
