The contractor was supposed to get some industrial strength velcro. He hasn't brought any over. I'm in Torono Ontario does any one know where in Toronto can some one get velcro strengthHanging pictures on soundproof walls with out nails.?
Wal Mart in the Fabric dept or any Lowes or Home depot or hardware store; they all carry it.
You can always get those Command hangers that hold up heavy stuff and when you take them down the tape comes off really easy I think they are made by 3 MHanging pictures on soundproof walls with out nails.?
They sell them at Home Depot
home depot should have industrial Velcro but i also like double sided wall mount tape it works great
Walmart, any hardware store.
3M makes an adhesive backed hook that you can use. They are pretty strong and work on various surfaces.

I just bought a 35-40lb mirror. How do I hang it on a solid oak wall that won't budge for a nail/wood screw?
Use mirror clips. Pre-drill the holes for the screws.I just bought a 35-40lb mirror. How do I hang it on a solid oak wall that won't budge for a nail/wood screw?
Drill a hole for the screw(s) first.

Does anyone know about hanging water , in ziplock bags, from nails around a restaurant, to keep the flies out?
I have seen a few restaurants around town with ziplock baggies full of water hanging from nails around the open windows and doors. they say it's to keep the flies out and they say it works. If it works WHY does it work?
Also some people put gallon jugs of water around the perimeter of their yard to keep dogs from peeing on their grass does that work? If so, WHY?Does anyone know about hanging water , in ziplock bags, from nails around a restaurant, to keep the flies out?
I occasionally go to a restaurant that had the bags of water hanging from the top of the door. When I asked about it, the owner said that the flies saw the water and looked on it like a water fall, or at least dripping water. This kept them out. The door was open all day and I don't think I saw over 2 flies (total, not in one visit) in the restaurant. The restaurant is on the coast and not prone to flies which I think may be a more valid answer as to the lack of flies inside. Last time I was there, the water bags were gone and the door was shut. Still no flies.
But it makes a good story. Maybe Mythbusters would check it out?Does anyone know about hanging water , in ziplock bags, from nails around a restaurant, to keep the flies out?
Hope it works, a friend told me to do this for horses. I hate using so many chemical fly sprays on the horse.
I thought that old urban legend died out a couple of years back. One of our local (Texas) BBQ chains used to hang up ziplocs of water and claimed it did the job well. Seems to me that the new window screens that they installed were what did the job.
With the drought as bad as it is around here, a leaky ziploc would ATTRACT the (%26amp;^%^%$! things.
I've heard about the jugs of water trick for dog repellent, too. I tried it and my neighbor's dog hiked his leg on the jugs the same as if they were a rock or fencepost.
The water contains admixtures of certain compounds which disperse into the local atmosphere.

I have a hang-nail, what's the most creative way to remove it?
I was thinking blow torch.I have a hang-nail, what's the most creative way to remove it?
run 5 miles at full speed in oncoming traffic until you reach the bridge. then take a dive off the bridge, yelling ';the sum of the square roots of any two sides of an right triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side!'; 15 times before you hit water, and then cut off your mighty hang nail with... a herring!I have a hang-nail, what's the most creative way to remove it?
using your teeth sounds cool lol
piranha
Tie a string to it and jump off the top bunk.
nah, use a wet stone
who creatively removes hangnails?? You should have just asked ';Hey guys, what's a creative way to pick the crust off my toes?';
Superb question.
blow torching it is a great idea.
Chew it off like an animal.
chainsaw
Get a long string and tie it to a car bumper......

Throw yourself off of a rocky cliff and hope it comes off in the process?

How can I hang a cabinet without screws or nails?
I'm looking to hang a custom built cabinet for my BBQ tools outside, but I am not allowed by the housing manager to use anything that ';degrades the structural integrity'; of the house, ie. screws or nails. I live in Colorado, so we have all four seasons, with temperatures in the single to negative digits, and snow.
What do have any suggestions on what I can use to hang the storage box? It isn't quite a flat surface, but more like:
/
/
/
where the panels are angled outward slightly, then cut back in about an inch to angle out again. I've been thinking of using picture wire to hang it, but do you know of any 3M or equivelent hook with adhesive that can withstand the temperature range and strength?How can I hang a cabinet without screws or nails?
there are hooks that you can buy that have adhesive tape that sticks to some surfaces. it is not very strong. that is too bad.
but there are trays that you can buy that hook under a grill. that would be the next best thing to house your bbq tools.How can I hang a cabinet without screws or nails?
you can try using the 'No More Nails' product or 'Bulldog adhesive' (or another contractors grade adhesive).
Siding is not designed to support an element like a Cabinet. Cabinets require attachment ( via screws) to the wall structure studs. I'm sure the LL would be very upset with anything '; glued'; to the siding.
You could possible do a ';freestanding'; cabinet - with a support rack to the ground or make a deal with LL to leave cabinet in place after you leave. (LL might approve if he/she feels it is a PLUS)
I would buy some castor wheels to put on the cabinets. That way, I can move he cabinet around to whenever I might need it. You could also think about attaching a nice thick board to the top as a counter type surface for when you need just that little extra space for food or prep items. Nothing you use will be any kind of permanent solution for keeping the cabinet in place. It will continue to fall and eventually break under the strain of falling so much.
so why not build a rolling cabinet with a door and some shelves? put a small railing around the top to keep your fixins on when you bar-b-q
Build a stand alone frame that goes againt the wall, not on to it.
Then attach the cabinet to that.
Think PT 2X4 and 2X6.

There is no satisfactory way of attaching a cabinet without screwing it. I know of no glue that will work. It might for a short time but you will find it on the ground when you go out of a morningskin tags

Hang art with a nail or a screw?
I recently purchased a framed art reproduction, it came with all the necessary hardware, accept for the actual nail or screw... so what should I use for a 20';x24'; heavy set framed oil painting...Hang art with a nail or a screw?
don't use a nail. especially in drywall. always use a plug and then a screw. and make sure that the screws/wire on the back (if they're not on yet) are 1/3 of the way down. also, if you have a wood frame and what to make sure that it doesn't warp (it will warp b/c its natural, it breathes and even in a living room, there is moisture), don't use wire. hang directly on the screws. its a little harder to hang, but trust me, once its done, it'll be more secure, and less likely to warp. if you're using wire, use wire in plastic. hope that helps.
(p.s. this comes from 7 years of custom framing).Hang art with a nail or a screw?
Do you have a 3M brand?
A hook that easily remove when you dont want to place there anymore
it good stuff easy to put %26amp; easy to remove :)
order some of those hangers you see on tv that you just push into the wall, i hung a very heavey mirror with them and they work great leaving just a tack size hole when removed, can't think of the name, sorry.
Screw What the other guy Said,
Use a Good Screw,
Less Chance of it slipping out, especially if its going straight into a wall. You might also want an anchor, then a screw, for maximum holding strength.
There are new hooks which anker so well, easy to remove and barely leave marks.
I assume you are hanging the painting with picture wire?
There is a new little picture hanging wall mount in most hardware stores these days. It has a slightly burred nail going through a disc at about a 45 degree angle. It is all one piece and usually gold-toned metal. They work great and come in different sizes to hold different weight paintings.
Most importantly, consider using 2 of whatever you decide to hang with. It is much easier to level bigger paintings that way.
With a nail
I prefer the screw - it tends to hold a bit better, at least in my experience.
EITHER A NAIL OR SCREW IS OKAY.
