I saw the new video on the Bullseye site yesterday. Leslie from Twin Visions asked about where to get french cleats and the Dow 995 silicone. I found some french cleats in Home Depot, manufactured by OOK. They were in the isle with the picture hanging stuff and screws and nails and stuff. They were $7.97 for a 5" or 6" one (60 lbs), $9.97 for a 12" (100 lbs) and $14.97 for an 18" one ( 200 lbs). They looked like aluminum. The Dow they didn't have, so I guess online is the best place for that.
Just thought you might like to know...

Both can be found on p. 61 of the new Bullseye catalog.

Re: French Cleats
I've been using Panel Clips for years, purchased through Brooklyn Hardware in Oregon. They're inexpensive and look like the ones in the Bullseye Catalog:

Re: French Cleats
If you can't find the Dow product I always us GE Silicone II on french cleats with excellent results!

I have used that in the past,Don. I haven't made anything that was so large and heavy that I was worried about it falling off the wall.

Don - How long do you let the GE Silione II cure before you feel safe hanging the piece?

72 hours is usually a safe curing time.smallbitz wrote:Don - How long do you let the GE Silione II cure before you feel safe hanging the piece?
