Very strong and secure if done carefully, but quite easy to mess up!Getting the 'tightening' started can take quite a firm turn of the screw, and if the fixing also turns, it'll tear the front paper - bad news.If you are doing lots, then really worth getting the application tool - one squish and it's in place.Drill the hole snugly, cleanly and carefully - and don't burst through the back of the 'board.0
