Bona Quantum in the 20 oz sausage is Bona's silane wood flooring adhesive in a pack made for a sausage gun. Bona describes it as the Quantum R851 formula in a convenient 20 oz package. It is the one to reach for on glue-assist installs, close-out rows, board replacements and stair work, where opening a pail makes no sense.
