Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:On the backside, just screw shit in.
On the topside, I pre drill.
Perfect, thanks Bryan!
Quoted from Pin-Pilot:The only thing I would be careful with is some hardware sold these days is not that great. If you do not pre-drill the holes sometimes they break and then you have to go through the whole process of removing the broken screw.
Good point. I'll run a few screws into an unused area and see if they feel weak or not.
Quoted from vid1900:I'd make sure the T-nut fits into the hole, without getting caught on the sides.
Every brand of tnut has a different disc size, so you might have to dig around your pile.
Then score the inside of the bottom of the hole, all the way around the edge with xacto knife.
If you are clearing your own playfield, install the topside T-nuts before you clear. Then clean out the threads with a Tap when dry.
Digging around my pile sounds like an unpleasant medical procedure.
PF came cleared, but with no tnuts. I'll score with xacto. Then set with a washer and bolt per pin-pilot's instructions, no glue.
Thanks guys!
