A non flexible adhesive will set hard. This makes it more likely to be brittle. Due to the brittle nature of the bond, there is a higher chance of the bond failing. A brittle bond can crack, weaken and eventually fail. This is not a problem for a flexible adhesive as it will be able to absorb the movement in the joint without cracking.
Best flexible adhesive
Ultimate Handyman has carried out several adhesive strength tests. In the latest adhesive strength test, the new formula of Adiseal adhesive & sealant was tested, along with a number of other adhesives from different manufacturers. In this test Adiseal proved to be the strongest adhesive by far, way stronger than anything else being tested. Nothing came even close to Adiseal. Watch the test in the video below.

A flexible adhesive is an adhesive that allows for movement and does not set hard. Non-flexible adhesives can crack, weaken and even break when there is movement of the items that are bonded with the non-flexible adhesive. With a flexible adhesive, the bond will absorb the movement without becoming weak.
