[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 208942, member: 6969"] Might try that on my test pieces. Given that it's two layers, almost the whole length of the plug should be in PB. Those compressible umbrella types are normally good, but I don't think they work on double layer board (unless there's a special longer version of them) But did I mention the other problem, the fixing holes are quite close to the edge of the fitting, so if I used those, I think you would see part of the metal flange of the fixing showing outside the edge of the light. So I'll try standard red plugs on my test pieces and see how they hold. I might also try a quick squirt of sticks like sh*t in the drilled hole before inserting the plug. [/QUOTE]
