How to mount a light fixture (small) without drilling on wall or ceiling (concrete)?
Question:So I have these small light fixtures, I want to mount it on the wall and ceiling, but how to mount it without drilling? Glue it on? What kind of glue? Or are there any other methods? The requirement is to mount the fixtures and can withstand hot weather, rain (maybe), will not be easily spoiled by the sun, can stay there there for years (20 years will be very good) and also economical.
Answers:
Go to the caulking isle of your home depot or Lowes, its by paint. Look for a label that says extra strength PL. Its a glue that bonds anything to anything. Its as strong as nails or screws.
Panel adhesive? I don't think so... Epoxies or water catalyst polyurethane glues are the only things that are going to work...and even they aren't going to last. (There's good reason that you never see anything "stuck" on raw concrete...nothing will stick to it).
If your going to "stick" anything to concrete for the long haul, you have to use a mechanical fastener.
