More gameroom "upgrades" stuff. Anyway, I want to put up on the wall some of the marquees I picked up a while back. I've noticed a few members have these hanging on the wall. Question #1: how do you hang them? 2 way tape? glue?  I also have a pinball playfield and backglass I'm going to be putting up. The backglass, I figure I can use the brackets used to install bathroom mirrors (thanks for the tip TR) but what about the playfield? Question #2: Do you just install a couple of L screws (whatever they're called) and then just hook up the playfield on the L screws via the various playfield holes? I'll never finish before Xmas... edit: layout stuff, message is easier to read this way  |

Neither one. Maybe someone can help me here... in french it's called "gommete". Schools and daycares use it to hang drawings and posters on walls. I found that they do a great job with marquees too. |

Les Anglais call it 'Blue-Tack' or 'Sticky-Tack.' Go to a Staples or Business Depot or whatever and ask for that. |

blue gum sounds about right. Mention that at a Michael's or a Staples and they'll know what it is. |

Shoot, you can't tell around here when someone's joking or not. I thought the bluegum was a joke, sorry ALJO. Ok, I'll check into that, thanks very much.
Ok, so what about the playfield? |

Just going on what the kids call it in my school.  But if everyone really insists, we'll all call it blue gum from now on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-tack |

Just wanted to say "thanks" for all the help, that blue gum stuff works fantastic! I used mirror clips on the playfield. They weren't wide enough to fit around the playfield but I was able to cut a slit into the base and top and fitted them in the groove. The bonus is you hardly see the clips.
The gameroom (AKA Loaf's Man Cave eheh) is starting to take shape. Sorry for the junk in the way, still getting ready for Xmas. Once everything is done I'll post a few pics in the gameroom thread. Just don't expect a lot of pins/cabs, I've got 1 each!
