    A grab adhesive is the obvious solution but why on earth do peeps keep peddling that NMN carp. Its expensive and not very good. Far better ones on market at lower cost.

    Everything costs £ 1 at Poundland uless you buy from a 99p shop in which case its ..... umm ..... 99p. :D Some stuff they make a loss on - obviously but it suits their business model. Its still a carp product compared with others.

    PinkGrip very much NOT discontinued! It's not exactly "hard to source" when Toolstation sell it........... e.g.;

    My brick burst plate that I made at work before I retired is just stuck to the wall with No Nails or Gripfast. Not sure which, but it has never shown any signs of coming off.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Maybe.

    It probably wouldn't suit a professional but for me it was £1 well spent for the few jobs I needed.

    Just like the inexpensive tools etc I have bought from Lidl etc. They probably wouldn't last a pro more than a few days but they are fine for my occasional DIY needs.
