Anyone know if this stuff is good or otherwise? I'm thinking of using it to fix some pine panelling (interior).

it depends on what you're fixing the panelling to. If the wall surface is well constructed and no bits of plaster falling off, it might work. But I'd be tempted to use the adhesive, then a little bit of discreet drilling, plugging and screwing to ensure the whole lot doesn't decide to fall off in the night.
If the wall is wobbly, crumbly and generally rubbish you'll need to fix battens and fix the panelling to that.
If the wall is papered remove the paper! Or you will only be fixing to paper not wall!
i found it useless,though i was trying to put a panel back on a door. the panel weighed about a kilo if that helps
If you use No more nails, the panels will need some sort of support until it starts to go off.
agree with tony, i wish i had a vice when i used it

Thanks to all ~ think I'll go with panel pins and battens.
I've not used it for that purpose, but it's good for other things - my neighbour stuck up a big mirror with it.
Pdust, i think a lot of myths, snobbery and misconceptions have been purposefully sent down the grapevine (pardon the pun) from the owners of this hundreds of billion pounds a year industry to seep into all aspects of the wine industry and sell more units.
No pastafreak i drink my beer from a wine glass (I know, but i like the way the glasses are ergonomically correct) or bottle.
Thanks to all those that welcomed me :)
Sorry wrong thread, i don't know how this happened as i was just reading my own thread???
wrong thread <rolls eyes> I may drink wine(and have an opinion on what it tastes and smells like) but at least I can post on the right thread.
I bet this gets pulled
Rabet, I use products like that all the time, but I do tend to back them up with pins or screws, as has been mentioned.
I suspect different brands may be different quality. A while ago, for reasons I'm not quite sure of, I bought a number of different brands of the similar stuff, and failed to note what I used where. Most of the skirting stayed up but one failed. And given the about of variation in the plaster and consequential filling I did at the top of the skirt, I was not happy to see it had come away a few weeks later.
Most people make the mistake of applying to one surface only
I've used it to fasten the waterproof panels in my shower cubical to the walls with no bother. The walls had been re-skimmed before I did it, so were in good condition. Even the "instant grab" seemed to work OK but I did put props across from the opposite walls for 24 hrs to be sure.
