Best sealant

What is the best and quickest setting sealant? i have tried Liquid Nails but that stuff just doesn't want to set up other than several hours and I don't want to staple paneling waiting for it to stick. Thanks Dave

Try this

Are you looking for a sealant or an adhesive? The question sounds like you need an adhesive. A trick I learned from an old contractor is hot glue & Liquid Nails together. Put on the Liquid Nails where needed. Then put on dabs from the hot glue gun. The hot glue will hold instantly (3-6 secs), but will start to release it's bond after 6 months. This gives the Liquid Nails plenty of time to set up permanently. Just get the right Liquid Nails as there are so many to choose from.
