Need to put up a lot of batons onto masonary

[Mini Me]

I have no idea of what the adhesive was but I assume it was Liquid Nails or similar.

I use the Liquid Nails style construction adhesives very extensively in conjunction with nails or screws, but generally when I want something to really stay put, and have never had an issue as a result. When I've had to disassemble something the bond is extremely hard or nigh impossible to cleanly break, which is exactly what I want.

From a commercial glaziers point of view, use a urethane caulk/adhesive. I've done tear outs where the masonry actually came off with the aluminum framing. Wood will often tear out rather than release. As a general rule we need to cut the caulk with a revip or oscillating tool to remove the unit and then chisel the caulk off the masonry with a sharp chisel, preferably chuck in a rotary/chiseling tool to remove. It's so good that now your vehicle windshield is considered a structural part and the reason our company quit doing replacements in the 90s. as it became too specialized. we only do large construction type replacements as they are generally flat and we can cut the glass, on site if need be.

Nice to know RST...I've always been a fan of PL 400 and while Liquid Nails was not specifically identified as eventually turning into "powdery mildew", that adhesive will now be permanently eliminated from any of my purchasing considerations as it always has been...Liquid Nails...nice name...Really?

History is so important to so many aspects of our lives and documentation is the only way to prevent us from repeating our past mistakes.

I am pretty sure the fit out was at least 30 years old when we stripped the room back to the bricks. I agree it sticks very well for a long time but eventually it breaks down.

The DX460 will drive nails into steel girders, mate - seriously. Beast of a machine. I’ve used it frequently for exactly the task you describe. Three nails per batten - and you’ll be able to anchor your battleship to them.

Yeah, but nobody is driving nails into masonry. That is why it says concrete, sand-lime brick and steel.

This is what I'm aiming for:
brick, batten, foil insulation, then batten, then plywood.

Is that that make-believe insulation with the fake stated R values that in the small letter print assume you include a perfectly closed 50mm closed cavity on either side?

Curious: Wouldn’t it be easier to insulate the interior of the garage?

Wait what? He already is planning that, I assumed?
