OSI Osi 1498717 F38 Drywall Adhesive, Latex, Tan, 28-oz. Cartridge

OSI F38 is a professional-grade, latex-based construction adhesive engineered for bonding drywall, gypsum board, and other panel materials in residential, commercial, and multi-family construction projects. This non-flammable, low-gassing adhesive is ideal for new construction, remodeling, renovation, and remedial work where drywall or gypsum products must be installed quickly, safely, and cost-effectively.

F38 reduces the number of mechanical fasteners—screws and nails—required for permanent installations when applied as directed alongside approved fastening methods. The adhesive bonds securely to drywall, paneling, wood trim, plywood, hardboard, OSB, foam board, and countertops, while also bridging minor gaps in framing and reducing sound transmission through walls. Its ultra-low VOC formulation makes it an excellent choice for green building projects without sacrificing strength or performance.
