"Used it on a smaller residential project last year, and so far it's held up pretty well—no peeling or lifting yet."
I've tried Henry's adhesives too, and while they're decent for smaller indoor stuff, I ran into issues outdoors. Did a patio trim job about two years ago, and after one harsh winter, it started lifting at the edges. Ended up redoing it with a pricier adhesive. So yeah, good for budget-friendly indoor projects, but I'd be cautious if you're planning anything exposed to weather...
Glad to hear it's holding up for you so far. I've had mixed results myself—used Henry's indoors for some trim work, and it's still solid after three years. Outdoors though, I agree with the caution. Weather exposure can be tricky, especially in harsher climates. Sometimes spending a bit more upfront saves headaches down the line... Learned that the hard way myself!
Yeah, totally hear you on that one. I've had similar experiences—tried saving a few bucks on exterior trim once, and let's just say the weather won that round. Indoors though, you're usually safer cutting corners here and there. Glad your indoor work is still holding strong after three years... that's promising. Sometimes it's just trial and error figuring out where you can safely trim costs without regretting it later.

Couldn't agree more with this. I've found that investing in quality materials for high-visibility areas really pays off aesthetically, while less noticeable spots offer some wiggle room. Glad your indoor choices are holding up nicely—sounds like you've struck a good balance.
Totally makes sense to me, but how do you decide what's "high visibility"? Is it just the main entryways and living spaces, or do you factor in things like hallways and secondary rooms too? I've found myself second-guessing a lot lately—like, does anyone really notice the difference between mid-range and premium fixtures in guest bathrooms? Curious how others draw that line... Anyway, sounds like you're on the right track with your choices.
