Don't narrow your thought though, use whichever works best. I stuck my wood to pretty smooth surfaces. It sticks, no matter what, as long as you use the pl premium and keep pressure on the piece of wood while it's curing. Loctite has a 24 hour rated cure time. What I did is used 2x4's and ran them from the floor to the roof to put pressure on the piece while it cured. Only thing I would've done differently is done my whole roof instead of only half! If you use the loctite, make sure you put a fan in your car and roll at least two windows down while it's curing. You have to circulate air, mainly because of the smell. It can get pretty bad as in you feeling a little sick. [/QUOTE]
