exactly, aqua! and make sure you screw it good and hard against the wall. you may just have to screw more than once. if you can, find a stud before screwing.

You're not using caulk on your trim, are you?

Thank goodness! I'd hate to see your trim after it has caulk smeared all over it!
Not really...actually I'd like that.

oh! well. the caulk does get on the trim. ooey-gooey gobs of it everywhere. that's where the wet finger i mentioned comes in. i agree, it is a sight to see.

and now that i think on it, wildi ~'because your question is important to me~ i recommend filling any holes in trim with a good wood filler. i find they fill the hole much better. a tighter fit, if you will. perhaps wood fillers expand after they are pushed in the hole.

Very true wyndhy... fill in your cracks with caulk. But trim needs a good nailing, I mean really pounded good. Right after is when you want to get some good wood filler in there as well. Some people would go as far as to put a gloss coat over the trim.

good advice aqua. i'd add that if the wood is especially hard, screwing it against the wall would help. of couse that leaves a larger hole to be filled, but i believe wood filler would work well for that, too.

And if possible, nailing it from the front while screwing it from behind would probably do the trick as well.

that, i think, would be overkill. you might end up splintering more delicate wood.
unless we are talking about body parts. then you might be onto something, aqua. of course, we aren't talking body parts here, just hardware and technique.

gotta be real careful when doing that...the ends might come out the other sides!

And what technique do you employ with your hardware?
