    Recently I asked staff advice in a diy shop on fixing a cabinet to a wall. I wanted to get the correct fittings and needed it secure and fixed to a plaster wall that had been painted.

    Explained that I needed it fixed securely with no play and he recommended I use gorilla glue :-0

    I didn’t take the advice :)

    The ads show it is strong stuff. I don’t have a drill, the new 55 inch tv I bought is light. Will the glue work?


    Why not ask whoever you bought it from?


    Assuming you bought it from an electrical retailer, they'd be best placed to supply written advice about gluing it to the wall.


    Can you post a picture of the wall in case the seller wasn't a retailer?

    Thanks Kevin.

    No problem!
    Goes without saying you'll need to mount it in an adjacent room of where you'll actually be viewing the TV. Careful the kango hammer doesn't penetrate the screen on breaking out the new ope for viewing.

    I’ll make sure I won’t penetrate you.

    Forget about the TV mounted to the wall like that

    Get a projector and use that gorilla glue to mount it to the ceiling instead

    They also do a new gorilla lip stick which helps you loose weight rapidly

    Hammer/poke in the receptacle thing.....than screw in the screw bit.....as screw tightens in the outer of the receptacle yoke bends outwards....it ends up flush against the inside surface of the wall spreading the force around.

    Grand yokes.....holds decent kgs soundly

    How do they work in solid walls though? How would the claw thing bend outward in a solid wall?

    I got the plumber the council uses to mount the bracket with his drills. He had to call to replace a faulty valve in the hot press and broken toilet seat.
    New tv up and no gorilla tape used.

    For future reference, this is what would have been the result if you glued the tv to the wall
