I was wanting to mount some Pro Product heat panels using Liquid Nails instead of pre drilling some holes and screwing htem into the ceiling of the cage. Has anyone had any success doing this? Im not fimiliar with the Liquid Nails product and am not sure how much to apply

This is where reading directions comes in handy =)

My first suggestion is to ask Pro Product what they recommend, and if Liquid Nails can stand up to the heat. If you do decide to use Liquid Nails, make sure to let dry for a loong time to insure all the vapors have gone away. Hope this helps.

I also would be concerned if the Liquid Nails (though it's a great product) would stand up to the heat. Even though the heat panels don't get *that* warm (still cool enough to touch), heat and glue rarely mix well. Even the best glues are often effected by direct heat and give way. I'd also recommend giving Pro-Products a call and verifying it will work.

I currently have a 150 watt Helix panel mounted to my water monitors' cage with Liquid Nails. Has been there since November and is holding really well. I just recently turned it off since that cage is out in the garage and it's hot down here in South FL right now. But it ran at 100% for seven months with no loosening at all so to date, the heat has no effect on the Liquid Nails. In fact, I sealed around the edges of the panel with silicone but that dried up and cracked in a matter of about 5 months. I was a little leary of the glue so I'm always testing it to see if it's loosening but it's still like a rock. Just my $.02. Billy
