The Liquid Nails Company Did The Right Thing!!!

On November 17th I sent the following email to Liquid Nails:

Subject: RE: Dissatisfied With Product Peformance

Good Morning,

On November 5th, at Ritters in Beaumont, Texas, I purchased, "Liquid Nails Adhesive Professional Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive".  As I read the specifications and directions, I understood that the product, which would be used to glue the carpet to my motorhome steps  would serve my needs.  It hasn't and I've attached three photos that indicate such.  The problem is occuring when the steps get wet.

Based on my information the product, which is labeled interior/exterior and weather resistant,  should perform better.  Any help you can provide is appreciated.  I can be reached through this email or at 409-XXX-XXXX.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you so much
Mike LeBlanc

On November 20th I posted in the Class C Forum, "Disappointed In Liquid Nails" and I received numerous responses. You can find that post and the responses at that forum.


On November 21st I received the following email from Liquid Nails:

Dear Mr. LeBlanc,

Thank you for letting us know of the issue you had with one of our adhesives.  Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive is not for a non-porous surface.  The product we recommend using is Liquid Nails Polyurethane Construction Adhesive (LN-950).  As a goodwill gesture, I will be happy to send you a case of the product.  Please let me know if you would like to accept our offer.

Sincerely,
Kim

I responded immediately that that was acceptable to me and on December 5th I received a case (12) of The Liquid Nails Polyurethane, LN950 via FedEx. I was impressed with Kim at customer service in that she stepped up immediately and without any "prodding". It's not often you see such service.

I think it's important that we let each other know when a company does the right thing. Enjoy the share. Pass around as you see fit. Merry Christmas!
  • Chinook is right. That stuff will tube harden in about a year in hot temps. And it's not just Liquid Nails that harden--DAP and other brands will also. I have to turnover almost all my cement/adhesive, grout, filler, etc. every year or two in AZ weather. Keep what you can use in 2 years and give a tube to your friends, buddies, kids, etc. p.s. I am now trying adhesive that comes in plastic tubes instead of cardboard tubes in hopes that the cement will not dry out.

    When the product label clearly states "NOT Recommended For: flooring applications, ceramics, mirrors, granite, marble (real or cultured), plastic, vinyl, ceiling tile, subfloors/underlayment, or 1/8" medium density fiberboard paneling" and you were installing carpet which is a flooring application what caused you to believe the product was the correct one? Did you not read the NOT recommended for part of the label just the BIG PRINT?

    Now you want to take a case of product for your mistake.

    WOW


    When you eliminate all the above - I wonder what it is used for?
  • I too will use Liquid Nails in the future as I have in the past. A great company with great customer service. I also had an issue with Fantasticc Fan on a 2001 fifth wheel. Like a previous post, I was sent a replacement product free of charges including shipping. I will continue to use these two products in support of their customer service. Quit whining about them sending a case of the product. That is their decision and if most of the remaining tubes dry up - so what!

    Let's hear about more of these type of companies we can support.

    That is exactly why I wrote the story. We often hear of complaints. It's good to hear of a company that goes above and beyond...without being prodded.

    I did look up the new product at Lowes and Home Depot...not listed. At Amazon it sells for almost $10 per tube.

    I am very pleased with the outcome.
