Makes sense Dale, I'm not sure I can do much with the plaster without making things worse anyway.

Not without plugs and since the plugs are larger than the screws and therefore the holes this is not a practical solution unless you are willing to remove the frame, set the plugs and reinstall the frame. Nice thing about silicone is that it sticks after only a moment and you only need apply a little pressure. Once it hits a clean surface it sticks. ----- Original Message ----- From: William Stephan To: blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2009 3:34 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Bluing question Thanks Tom, if I do that right, maybe I don't even have to bother with the gluing part. I wasn't aware I could use wood screws on plaster. -----Original Message----- From: blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com [mailto:blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tom Fowle Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2009 12:53 To: blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Bluing question Any of those glues will do fine but your problem is clamping the frame fairly tightly to the plaster while the glue drys. If it can move the joint will fail. Some wood screws into the plaster may be enough if you don't want to go clear through into the studs. Use flat head screws and counter sink them to be less obnoxious.
