Anybody ever mounted a TV using adhesive?

[Joe Money]

Ever mounted a light TV (< 15 lbs) in a spare room with an adhesive, like gorilla tape or something? Or is this an epic fail waiting to happen?

 

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

nothing over one pound hanging on a wall should be mounted with

adhesives....

you expect to stay on a wall for more than a few years.. then find that stud and get a drill

and some anchors and do it the right away.. its really not that hard at all...

 

[dHustla]

Don't do it

 

[34real]

Heck no,I've tried it all ain't no way around finding the studs in the wall and mounting it to them.

I ain't no handyman at all but I did it....superglue?tape?you better off just sitting it on the floor.

Mounting a TV...with tape? Man, I love BGOL!

 

[ugk]

nah all the real homies screw it straight into drywall

 

[Aww Skeet Skeet!]

Like 3m strips or scotch tape? Either way, might as well use gorilla glue...

 

[killagram]

Stud or shit...brah

 

[RoadRage]

Man, that's a good idea, especially during hot, summer, humid, days.

Is it December first or April 1st?

Yeah. Right between the electric baseball bat with the extension cord, and the combination toaster oven/bath toy.

I',m sorry... I could not help myself...

I hang mine with the same double adhesive that’s on Christmas Bows I used like 20 of them shits. Worked like a charm.

U will have a cracked screen in no time

 

[Dr. Truth]

I expect this sort of stupidity from the dumb ass broke OP. Do it!!! Superglue your tv to the wall make sure you put your beds headboard directly under it when you’re done.

 

[A to Dah K]

Stud or shit...brah

Anchors

 

[killagram]

Anchors

Shit...them anchors rip out...I then seen it all.. kinsfolk

 

[smoovejazz]

Just like the Command adhesive commercial says (although for a different reason than intended)...

"Stop...Hammer Time!"

 

[DWBass]

Not a single hung TV in my house. All sitting on stands. Fuck fucking up my walls! Don't like looking up either. I see mufuckas got their TV's damn near up to the ceiling! Nah!

Anyone who thinks that is a good idea or feasible. Likely also believes in some weird shit.

I thought you were one of the smart ones.

I purchased a tv stand for all my flat screen tvs:

FITUEYES Universal TV Stand Table Top TV Stand for 27-55

Amazon product ASIN B07QMK748D
The tv was too wide to put it on the surface because the legs are on the far right and left, so the stand was perfect.

 

[Aww Skeet Skeet!]

I do hate when the damn TV is hung up too damn high or over the fireplace (unless you have one of those motorized wall mounts that swing down).

Made sure to have the ones that I have hung up at eye level.

That’s the thing. It’s just temporary so I didn’t want to go through all that:

Thanks. Seems like the best solution.

Nah, man. Looks to be a sound idea. May I suggest gluing said TV to drywall?

I hung my 65 inch over my fireplace myself. Use thin finishing nails to find the studs/boards. Go from bottom of baseboard, wall sockets, go up vertically ( see YouTube) sometimes asshole builders will offset fireplaces so you may make a few holes in the walls but if your nail doesn’t have any resistance don’t hang that mf up cause that’s all Sheetrock. It may get tacked for a min but that shits coming down at some point! I’m not an expert and it was my first time. I used a good stud finder but that mf was giving me false info, also you may pierce some of your wiring too like my boy did. Mf drove A long ass nail into the wall and his lights went out lol Oops

Thanks. I know it’s possible, since people mount large picture frames with adhesives.

 

[Joe Money]

Fuck it. I’ll give it a shot and will post the video on BGOL.

This one only requires 4 holes drilled, studs not required. Amazon has a bunch of similar ones also.

Amazon product ASIN B01KBEOEB0
If you don't want to take up room on a table, they have the floor stands also.

Amazon product ASIN B01CR4Y0XO

Don't do it

We mock what we don't understand....Aside from the seven clowns a laffin ..... it's only 15lbs..... spread over the 2-3 mounting points.... and not pulling away from the wall, but across if flat mounted... Gorilla tape's rated to 60lbs.... shit they got picture frames that weigh more than fifteen lbs.... you should be fine as long as the surface is intact and properly prepped... cut it into stips and use about 4-5 eight inch contact points

Fuck it. I’ll give it a shot and will the video on BGOL.

Bro, this is simple. I've mounted 10+ TVs myself over the years and the shit should take you 20-30 mins at best. Measure it out. Use a level to make sure it's straight, and ABSOLUTELY drill your screws into a STUD (shout out to Young MA). But anyway, follow that path and you can't go wrong.

Please do not let anyone talk you into taping a TV to your walls, homie.

 

[TENT]

TVs are best viewed on a stand on the floor. Not mounted on the wall.
