For lightweight products of foam and polyurethane, there is enough ordinary wallpaper glue or PVA glue mixture. Gypsum moldings can be attached to special gypsum mortar or polyurethane glue. A wooden slats can not withstand any glue, they are attached to nails.
The glued moldings dry for 5-6 hours, after which excess glue is carefully sanded. Joints, seams and places of fitting the laths to the wall must be puttied.
