display hanging

[rljohn56]

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

Glue a piece of wood on the back and screw your hanger to that.

Heavy subject for me. Lots of ways............I use Sawtooth hangers and short nails superglued in

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!

The E 6000 Dan mentioned is good stuff !

thanks everyone!

I use E-6000 for saw tooth and D-Ring hangers. Dries quick and gives a strong bond.

I did a search for E 6000 glue in Ireland and came up with some locations shown.  Some on e-bay, etc.  You might give that a try.

I glue a 1 inch by 1/4 pice of 1/8" bb onto the back and then nail on one of those picture hanger things that have spikey things on each end to that piece of bb,.  I have tried everything and this works the best.

[JTTHECLOCKMAN]

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

I,m gonna chk on the E-6000 Glue,I have been using a backer board and frame then snipping off the tip of the braid.

[Tommy Johnson]

Sloan's woodworking carries a good selection of small and short brass screws. Check them out also!

[Rolf]

I use 1/4 inch screws and the serrated hangers. 

[Lucky2]

I do the same as Larry and Roly, I've never had one fail doing it that way.
