I fitted all my skirting with Pinkgrip seems a good product, just
bought some Evostick "Evograb adhesive ... it was USELESS .. it says high
grab in seconds, it was pathetic ...

Completely agree. Snatched at some recently, because my favourite (Gripfill,
solvent) was out. Did NOT do what it says on the tube.
Unfortunately, second time I have been disappointed with an Evo product.
Years ago bought their bathroom sealant "with extra 30% grip and fast cure"
to install WHB and shower enclosure. It just would not cure, kept
redissolving when wetted. Phoned tech support. They told me it was an
Acrylic emulsion, which will do that until cured. AND quoted cure times
apply to 2 mm thickness, my thickness would take weeks. It did. I never saw
it on the market again.
