Bar install and liquid nails

[rnt80]

I'm installing this bar today and I'm planning on using some 2x4 cleats on the floor to anchor the cabinets to.  I didn't really want to have to drill into the tile so I was thinking of using liquid nails to anchor the 2x4s to the floor and then screw the cabinets to the 2x4 from the sides.  There's obviously not any weight that the cleats will need to support and the only way there would be pressure on them would be if someone decide to run head long into the bar to try and knock it down.  Any reason that I'm not thinking of that would disqualify this idea?

I can't see any problem there. I used to fit bars years ago all over England. The joinery shop made them in large sections and the "pot boards" (bottom shelves) were loose so we could level the bar then fix cleats 4x2 to the floor then through the sides into the 4x2 base of the bar . Similar to your idea but we could nearly always screw down so didn't need glue. I have glued battens down to tiles a lot though and never had a problem.

Another option would be silicone. tis hold power isnt the same as liquid nails, but In the future if they ever wanted it removed back to original, the silicone could be removed with some dissolving solution.

Russell  I had the same application of sorts last year, I used PL Premium to hold down the 2x4's and then attached my cabinet set for there bar. Like you said unless it a pass rush head on into the bar it will not move

iv used gripfill(PU construction adhesive) to stick things like this a few times , never had a problem.
iv taken apart a few similar sinarioes  and have suffered to get the parts apart.

i have cut small slots on the bottom of the board a few times to increase the surface area and reduce the posability of the parts seperating along the straight join between the 2

Liquid nails....  its very much like pink grip, grip fill  and all them types of adhesives which go hard once set are not very good on non porous surfaces.  Tiles can be to smooth for them types of adhesives and I have seen them fail many of times with a simple tap of the hammer they just pop loose.  

Something like   Sticks like, Fix all  are the best types of adhesives to use  stay flexible and hold super strong on any type of surface even smooth.

We use stixall its the best by miles , doesn't skin in seconds like gripfill does. Sure you would have something similar your side of the pond.

I HATE gripfill I cant believe its still for sale to be honest its so crap. The skinning over is one of the MAIN reasons why its crap and their r plenty more reasons.

I wouldnt use it even if it was given to me no joke! I was actually offered 6 tubes and I said no im alrite dont use the stuff.    Its CRAP!

Any ms polymer or polyurethane( flexible varieties like sika ebt)type adhesive will do the trick

iv never had any problems with gripfill. .
pink fill on the other hand is rubish.

very hard to get other brands easily here on a daily basis
