construction adhesive

Heavy-duty paste

Construction adhesive is a heavy-duty bonding agent used to attach building materials—drywall, paneling, subflooring, molding.

Unlike wood glue or craft adhesives, it's formulated to bond dissimilar materials and fill gaps.

It typically comes in tubes applied with a caulk gun: I used construction adhesive to secure the baseboards.
