How can a finishing interior panel be attached to furring strip wall without showing attachement screw/staple/etc and no moldings to cover attachment points.

Thanks.

Gluing the panels would be one method.

Glue with a cross pieces of wood, pressure fit between the two walls works good. Use some wood with a little spring in it. Then when the glue dries remove them. A good panel adhesive like Liquid Nails would do.

Thanks, will polyurathane caulk work as well or am I over killing it? It is more expensive but has more elasticity.

I really like polyurethane.
It has held my trailer together for many years now with no signs of failure.
You must be aware however, that polyurethane is a "moisture cure" glue, and won't bond well if applied to very dry surfaces.
If the surfaces are dry, and there is low humidity, it is beneficial to use a damp rag to wipe the areas to be glued.
