ANOTHER use for pocket screws?! Count me in!

What happens here

Apply a bead of construction adhesive along the joint edges of the two PVC pieces that will be joined. The video shows using Titebond construction adhesive for this purpose. This adhesive will provide additional strength and a weather-tight seal to the joint. Once the adhesive is applied, bring the two pieces together, align them carefully, and secure them using pocket-hole screws driven into the previously drilled holes with a cordless drill. Wipe away any excess adhesive.

Goal: Create strong, weather-sealed joints between PVC trim pieces.
