I would like to fasten pressure treated (dry) 1 X 2 furring strips to an
unpainted concrete block wall. Is it acceptable to do so with Liquid

Nails?
If so, are there any special precautions/steps to be taken?
TIA


IMO,
Bad idea with just liquid nails. Depends on what the furring strips are
supporting.
Concrete nails, (cut nails) are not that expensive and they will pound in
with just a hammer. I would use 2 to 2.5 inch concrete nails every 12 inches
the length of the furring strip.

Probably to many nails, I am not interested in problems later so I tend to
over kill a bit.
