YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

Got to agree with you Pete, Duct Tape is so useful !
They have a saying in the USA - It ain't broke, it just lacks Duct Tape 
Good site : http://www.ducttapeguys.com/

Our deputy head at the school where I work has been fitting some plastic electrical trunking (the smallest size) to the cieling to carry a cable fron a cctv camera he has fitted, (the whole job has taken him about 4 months up to now) He has used no nails and couldn't understand why it fell down..... Teacher=Teaching Children... Electrician=Fitting camera's Caretaker= Wisdom....
If you use No Nails to stick trunking on painted cieling, you are in fact only sticking it onto a coat of paint.... Result= Paint comes of cieling with trunking.... Lands on floor... start again....
Each to his own I say..... 
Good try Mr Cecconi .......

One thing that has always bothered me about using this 'No Nails' stuff........
......when you stick somethng to a wall/ceiling etc with it, how are you supposed to keep it in that position until the glue sets ?.....use a few nails ?
