Gorilla-Glue for your Power Strip screws
- Thread starter CWO4GUNNER
- Start date
Here is exactly the 4 oz bottle I use, $6 on Amazon $8 at Lowes but goes a long way as a little expands by 10X. One bottle will do so many jobs you'll probubly never use it all, but it never gets old or hard.
I've used velcro, as well. Just stapled either the hook or the loop to the wood to make sure it stayed put. It sticks just fine to the plastic back of the power strip, so no worries there.
Velcro is great if you glue it also but I think Liquid Nails works better on fabrics don't know why but it worked great gluing patches over holes in my boat cover. The only thing about a power strip is I like it to be solid and not give when pulling or inserting a plug, no wobble, no twisting or tearing sound, just stable as a rock. Anyway mounting them sure clears up that tangled mess on the floor.:lol2:
Thanks for the reply. I almost bought some but wasn't sure it would do the job. I used the GG-brand of super glue (.53) oz 6 months ago and still have half a bottle left. It has allowed me to glue parts together I never thought possible! So far they have lived up to all the advertising hype. I was curious about Liquid Nails as well and didn't want to gamble on the use I needed.
Hay just try using what you already have and save the trip and money, just use more LOL.
HAHAHA wish I could but, super glue of any brand doesn't work well on wood construction projects.
I mounting two power strips on each of my 4 cabinets as using only 1 power strip gets filled up. Anyway I was doing this one odd ball power strip and the 4 screw holes in the back were raised 1/8 inch and then the lower half had a 1/4 inch recess. This is where Gorilla glue shines, I got some water spray bottle out and wet the wood first this time to get goo expansion then I laid it on a little thicker then usual on the back and one side of the power strip, then used a ice cream stick to work in some drops of water, then just clamped it into the its corner and the foam expanded filling in all the low and high spots. Spray the wood with water a couple times to insure good expansion. So far they are all rock solid. Later Im going to buy a under cabnet light fixture with bulb included for $11 and glue it underneath the cabinet on the top front as Im tired of using a flash light to see stuff. Same fixtures/bulb combo I used on my canopy. At Walmart for $8

This stuff is pretty awesome too
You know I looked for that stuff when it first came out on TV where the noisy neighbor gets his hammer glued to the ceiling then handed power grab instead to install paneling. I always wondered if it really worked like that, no clamping no waiting just stick it on and walk away.
