Attaching bottom plate to concrete floor
I have a Ramsey but prefer not to punch holes into a new concrete floor. (That also rules out tapcons). I also will be doing the majority of work at night. Can the bottom pressure treated plate be secured to the concrete (without will plate seal) using adhesive such as gorilla glue or liquid nails? Will this hold over time or will it loosen causing the bottom to slip out?

That just makes no since to me.
Those few holes for Tap-Cons or a Ram set are not going to hurt the slab.

Don't think any inspector would approve a sill plate with no mechanical fasteners. Millions of houses have plates that are nailed and screwed to the floor... so what makes yours so special? Other than you don't want to do it?
