No More Nails Ultra will stick two non-porous surfaces together. Wickes do an ultra one of their "forget nails" too that's also for two non-porous surfaces (got a tube of it on the go at the moment). I've tried both and there really isn't much difference except a few pennies.

For external stuff there is also a No More Nails weatherproof version though it's not such an instant grab as the others and it's quite pricey at about £8 a tube - we used it to stick some plasterboard in the bathroom. Often i use nails as well if i think the job warrants it. What i like about the adhesives is they also fill ...so like with architraves and skirtings you can fill in gaps at the same time. The solvented types are a pain to get off your fingers - though if you do white spirit gets it off.

However once you've opened a tube it won't last forever - i've had to chuck the wickes forget nails in the past.

Ive used the no more nails tape for numerous mirrors onto plasterboard walls in my house and it worked a treat. I always use a lot of it just to make sure! Cant fault it though.

We have builders renovating a house for us at the moment and they mentioned today that Evostick's Sticks Like Sh*t is a brilliant product and much better than No More Nails. I didn't believe there was such a product but they had a tube with them!

OH uses this, def better.

Not much wrong with No Nails. There are many other products out there doing the same job. NO Nails seems to be the generic term for all such products, just as Hoover became the generic name for all vacuum cleaners many years ago.

They should call the stronger version "no more screws".

a lot of IT suites 2 and 3 are No More Nails'd. Dados, rubstrips, skirting, probably a lot more. 4 years of abuse from 700 kids, extreme heat, cold, cleaners and 200 staff, and it's still as good as the day it went up. Wonderful stuff.

In 8 months or so it's all going under the demolishing ball..it'll be a sad day. We get a new state of the art building though, so it's not so bad. I'll bet they use it in there too!
