Has anyone used liquid nails to fix delam issues? I've used it on other projects and it's tuff and sticks to everything. Looks to be an easy way.

Liquid Nails makes 49 different products. Which one were you planning to use?

In general though, it's too viscous. The force required to pump it in would make the delam worse, and it wouldn't penetrate to the edges of the delam - which is necessary to keep the delam from spreading.

Most liquid nails products will not cure in a sealed compartment, they require moisture to cure (so they don't cure in the tube). For a delam repair you would need a 2 part cure product like epoxy so it would cure in the hull. As stated above you also want something less viscous.
