picture hangers

[gilljc]

So I've made the pictures and glued them to the backing (did a test piece with my usual wood glue, and now have a little horsy cut out solidly glued to my 'spraying board' :lol: ) I have bought some saw tooth hangers for the back, and they come with little nails. Does anyone use these nails, or do you just glue them on? I once used hinges that came with the same sort of nails, and they just didn't hold.
Excuse all the stupid questions, but am only a woman #-o

Hi Gill I normally use the two tube epoxy glue to the saw tooth hangers not the nails or screws,and when put the hanger on top of the glue it comes through the holes like a mushroom.

Thanks Gill. =D> =D>

In the past I have resorted to adding a couple of strips of veneer over the ends of the hangars when gluing in place to increase the 'hold'.
