I relocated an outlet to a location where I just could not manage to
nail it to the stud. I attached it using Liquid Nails. Is this method
"acceptable"?

The builder had attached the box with 2 small screws (with metal
screwheads exposed inside the box)...any comments on this method?

I have seen electrian's on some job sites use screws when they could
not nail. When they installed the outlet they would wrap electrial
tape around the outlet.


Having screws inside the box isn't a real problem, imho. I hang handy
boxes and I use screws to mount them.

Pluse when you hang metal boxes, the recetacle is 'surrounded' by
metal. Just remember to turn in all you unused terminal screws for
safety.

imho,
