Given what you're suggesting I would say that you're in no position to be casting aspersions on other posters' intelligence. That said, the jury's still out on whether or not you're trolling, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now.

You asked a question in this particular forum, if you didn't want an answer you don't like then why bother asking in the first place? You've been told that the paint on the wall is the issue, not whether or not the glue can take the weight, and you've chosen to ignore that. At this stage my advice would be to do whatever you want to do, you seem hell-bent on doing that anyway. And to do it soon so that you can get a replacement TV while the sales are still on.

And further more do some research on what gorilla glue and tape is before you come in with your size 4 1/2.

We know what you think it can do. Hold a tv to a thin skin of paint, which is all it will be sticking to essentially. What could go wrong.

It’s being stuck to a timber fitted unit, Francie you’re getting carried away.

This is one sticky problem

You don't need a drill in that case, a screwdriver will work fine.

The dead weight of the telly will shear the tape, maybe not immediately but dead weight never stops pulling. Your project is doomed.

Is the back of the TV curved OP? If so try mounting it front side flush to the wall ensuring a greater surface area for the gorilla tape to stick to.

HappyAsLarE · 12-01-2019 1:00am

Some people shouldn’t do DIY.

Not knowing about certain things mishaps do happen as i had a narrow 4" shelf about 3 ft long off cut on a table top and used that expensive silicone that can glue underwater.I later found my shelf was coming away from the wall.THE wall was painted was my problem,luckily enough a few plastic fruit jars are underneath and shelf is still there and not much weight on it..
If needs must there are installers that do these things correctly,my one in the bedroom can come out 24" and swivel so plenty of room in behind to mess.

Recently I asked staff advice in a diy shop on fixing a cabinet to a wall. I wanted to get the correct fittings and needed it secure and fixed to a plaster wall that had been painted.

Explained that I needed it fixed securely with no play and he recommended I use gorilla glue :-0

I didn’t take the advice

The ads show it is strong stuff. I don’t have a drill, the new 55 inch tv I bought is light. Will the glue work?

Why not ask whoever you bought it from?

Assuming you bought it from an electrical retailer, they'd be best placed to supply written advice about gluing it to the wall.

Can you post a picture of the wall in case the seller wasn't a retailer?

Thanks Kevin.

No problem!
Goes without saying you'll need to mount it in an adjacent room of where you'll actually be viewing the TV. Careful the kango hammer doesn't penetrate the screen on breaking out the new ope for viewing.

MaryBrosnan · 12-01-2019 2:03am

What’s with everyone wanting videos and photos of my home. Way beyond weird.

Half way through that sentence Mary I didn't know where you were going with it, nudge nudge wink wink

Forget about the TV mounted to the wall like that

Get a projector and use that gorilla glue to mount it to the ceiling instead

worded · 12-01-2019 4:55am

They also do a new gorilla lip stick which helps you loose weight rapidly

Hammer/poke in the receptacle thing.....than screw in the screw bit.....as screw tightens in the outer of the receptacle yoke bends outwards....it ends up flush against the inside surface of the wall spreading the force around.

Grand yokes.....holds decent kgs soundly

How do they work in solid walls though? How would the claw thing bend outward in a solid wall?

I got the plumber the council uses to mount the bracket with his drills. He had to call to replace a faulty valve in the hot press and broken toilet seat.
New tv up and no gorilla tape used.

That’s disappointing

For future reference, this is what would have been the result if you glued the tv to the wall

Ah yeah more trolling but a wee bit more subtle to be fair to you

Now it's paid for handymen in your cheap or free council flat to fit your brand spanking new tv

7/10 for effort

MaryBrosnan · 12-01-2019 8:03pm

Wow where did that come from.

greasepalm · 12-01-2019 8:32pm

And they had that screwed to wall,a very flimsy wall made of cardboard as you can put your fist through mine.Batons are needed to be found in those walls to make things secure.

If you complain he mounted it too high you could get a few curtains hung or a bit of painting done the next time Mary. Food for thought...

Ursus Horribilis · 12-01-2019 9:05pm

I didn't think it was possible to be mounted too high but maybe I was wrong

Or just break the toilet seat again.
