Focus DIY's "Who Needs Nails?" - awful stuff..
Arghh.. Just spent far too long struggling to fix a moulded
(polystyrene based) skirting to a plasterboard wall with this useless stuff. For anyone unfamiliar with it, it's a solvent free adhesive in the "No More Nails" mould. Not impressed I'm afraid. It seems to be formulated way too thick. After struggling to squeeze it out of the tube using a trigger dispenser, I found that as the skirting was pressed against the wall the fixative did no more than squidge a bit then allow the skirting to peel away when the pressure was released. Lying prone in a bizzarre position with hands, elbow, knees and 1 foot pressing the skirting against the wall for 10 minutes rewarded me only with backache and a skirting that still just peels away of its own accord. Has anyone else had similar problems with this stuff? Is it perhaps just the Focus DIY own brand that's dire, maybe I need to try a better brand? Alternatively, how else can you fix this moulded skirt into position? It's a natural wood finish (to match a laminate floor), so nailing isn't an option as I won't be painting over. |
