I need to attach natural Manila rope (larger diameter, to be laid on floor) and synthetic rope (small diameter, to be placed on MDF panels and wood). This is for decorative purposes only. What is the best adhesive to use?
A synthetic rope (small diameter), how small? Stixall, available in clear, plus a few colours. CT 1 is another building adhesive. http://www.everbuild.co.uk/stixall-1 http://www.ct1ltd.com/product-applications/ct1-unique-sealant-construction-adhesive/ As to large diameter rope, seen masonry nails driven into rope & punched just below surface,can't be seen.
Thanks very much. The synthetic rope is about 10 mm so the CT1 should do the trick, and the nails for the larger diameter Malina rope.
You might find 'Micky Pins' suitable for large rope all depend on size of rope & whether you can open it enough to get pin into a strand, which is then cover by another strand of the rope.
