Similarly, it is asked, can you glue PVC trim boards together?
You can cut PVC lumber with conventional wood saws, but you glue boards together in the same way you glue PVC pipes: by using solvent-weld cement. The cement softens the plastic and actually fuses the boards you are joining into a single piece.
Beside above, can you use a nail gun on PVC trim? Fasten PVC trim with stainless steel screws or hot-dipped siding nails. In areas that are completely protected from water, like under a soffit, you can use a 15-gauge air nailer with galvanized nails and fill the holes with paintable caulk or filler.
Then, does Gorilla Glue work on PVC trim?
Yes, it's Gorilla Brand PVC cement. I liked it for several reasons: It's clear (although dries sort of milky which was fine with the white trim I was using), relatively thick, it's a primer and glue in one, and a longer open time than most 2-part PVC systems.
How do you bond PVC trim?

Standard PVA wood glue and liquid nails are a little out of their element for gluing wood to PVC. I'd try a polyurethane based glue like Gorilla Glue, or maybe a two part epoxy. If you use Gorilla Glue, make sure to clamp the joint, since it expands 3-4 times in volume while curing.How do you glue PVC sheets together?
