brad nail it and glue it....simple...

 

It might not be so simple if its old plaster and heavy large chair rail, Dime size beads of liquid nails tension pins and adhesive caulk.

 

I'm curious as to how you guys deal with this too, I'll reveal my method later.

The house was built from the 1900's to the 40's, plaster over wood lath. Here the base plaster material (local) is sand and shell. 16 ga. nails wad up in the gun and larger ones just explode the wall.

 

I have never ran into anythign around here that a 16ga wouldn't handle. But if I had what you have teetor, I would probly use liquid nail on the back of the chair and predrill through the chair rail and the plaster and drive hand finish nails into the studs.
Unless the hammering would crack the hard brittle plaster?
In that case I don't know what the heck I would do:laughing:
If its painted, maybe trim screws or something like that.

Sorry, forgot to mention that most of the wood back then was Dade County, also called lighter pine. Harder than a whore's heart. Hitting studs also gets you nowhere IF you could get to the studs.

 

Hmm, well in that case you got me teetor. Besides some quick grip type adhesive I really can't think of another way.
Share your secret teetor!:laughing:

tension pins you would be amazed on how well it fastens to plaster
