Hi..... I have a home wall but just found overhanging wall that would be bit*hin' to put holds on. My question in that I have made holds out of wood in the the past but the are sitting in my not-so-overhanging wall. Im wondering If wooden holds would hold :? on an overhanging wall.... bear in mind that they would be glued on ....


PS please no posts on asking for permission and all that crap, Im tha big dawg around that place... for shezze!

What kind of wood are they made out of, and how are they made? I dont know if gluing them would work...depending on the glue used. An epoxy could hold them possibly. but it's also dependant on the materials the wall is made out of as well as the holds. Screwing them on would porbably be a better idea. Just a suggestion.

just try out epoxy and see if the holds can take it...if they don't work do something else

Big Dogs for shezze rarely need advice on such trivial matters. The obvious answer is Elmers Glue. Fo Shizzle.

If you really wanna glue em, use 1/2" dowel rod with REAL wood glue. And drill into the wood at such as angle that for the hold to come out would require the dowel to shear in half, instead of pulling outta the hole.
