Is the self adhesive mini trunking available from Screwfix (16x16 in
3m
lengths) OK?

It's just for running a few coaxial cables in but might be fixed to
plastered walls.

Does it stick ok, or is there another better type available.

I need about 100m I think.

Many thanks



I've found the self adhesive stuff fairly hopeless for permanent
fixing to plastered / painted walls but ok on laminates. However
having the sticky on the back makes installation earier as it stays
there long enough to get screws through it.

Couldn't agree more.

I used the self adhesive screwfix trunking a while ago to put in a Cat5
network - luckily in my own premises.

Two days later most of it was hanging by the cables it was supposed to
contain - adhesive had totally failed.

So definately use the self adhesion to hold it in place while you screw it
to the wall.


By contrast a few years ago we used self adhesive trunking from RS
Components on the same walls and you can't remove it without taking the
plaster off ;-)
