rljohn56 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 i need some tips or ideas for hanging some of my projects. Since most of my projects that i want to hang is made from 1/4 inch baltic birch plywood i'm having a hard time finding screws short enough that they won't protrude to the other side when mounting hanging hardware. I'm leery of adhesive to stick the hardware to the wood for fear of it giving up and all that i worked for crashing to the ground. any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks, ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye10 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Glue a piece of wood on the back and screw your hanger to that. Lucky2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 There are several things you can do. The use of a cleat glued to the back as mentioned above would work. Adding a backer board will also thicken the piece. You can also mount your piece to a picture frame and use the hanger that comes with it. You can use a D ring type hanger glued with a product called E 6000. It is a thick adhisive that bonds anything to anything. I use it all the time without any failure. You can find it at any craft store. Lots of ways to do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrolling Steve Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 The E 6000 Dan mentioned is good stuff ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneMahler Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 I use E-6000 for saw tooth and D-Ring hangers. Dries quick and gives a strong bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 The best method is probably using wood glue and securing a small piece where the hook will go just to beef it up a tad. They sell small screws as small as you need them. I buy from here. www.smallboxhardware.com/prodview.lasso?searchfor=Fasteners&showtype=thumbs&searchitem=brass&shop=60&howMany=64.0&-session=Site_Preferences:47ACCE3418c2834480IKN3348705 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
