1. Fix with nails or screws
The first step is to measure and mark the position of the board. First, mark the position on the vertical line on the wall with a level and pencil. These marks will indicate where you need to fix the board.
The second step is to prepare the board. You need to pre-drill holes at the top and bottom of the board so that nails or screws can easily enter the board. Make sure that the drilling depth matches the length of the nail or screw you use.
The third step is to install the board. You need to insert the nail or screw into the marked position on the wall first, and then let it stand out. Next, aim the board at the nail or screw on the wall and tap it gently with a rubber hammer to press it against the wall. Finally, nails or screws are further fixed along the top and bottom of the board.
2. Fix with adhesive
The first step is to prepare the wall. Before fixing the board with glue, you need to make sure that the wall is dry, clean and flat. You can grind the wall with sandpaper and then wipe it with a wet cloth to ensure that there is no dust and dirt.
Step two, prepare the glue. Before fixing the board to the wall, you need to apply glue to the back of the board. Using a glue gun, apply some glue to the bottom and top of the board and distribute it evenly on the board.
The third step is to install the board. Use glue to aim the board at the required position and gently push it against the wall. Tap the board gently with a rubber hammer to ensure that it fits closely with the wall.
In short, the two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Fixing the plate with nails or screws can better control the position and safety of the plate, but it may damage the wall and require more labor. Fixing the board with glue can be simple and quick, but it may be unstable and may fall off after years of use. Which method you choose ultimately depends on your needs and preferences.
