What type of glue dots does one use to hold decorative items in place? I believe clear ones would be best. And where have you purchased them?
thanks.

Museum putty. Let me qualify that. If i had a bus thats how. In this camper ill just screw things down to floors and walls. Lol. Very convienient and strong. In about a month im ripping it down to the framrails. A little help would be nice.

We use mechanics drawer mat under our items. Just cut out the shape of the bottom of the item and place it underneath. They hold well even under those panic stops! That way you can move them when cleaning or placing them in another spot.

Thanks Joe Camper. I think I’ll pass on the screws. I’ll check out the putty.

The mats definitely could work. I was thinking about the clear
acrylic shelves but for other surfaces I’ll check into the mats.

We use a SMALL dot or two of clear silicone.

what mechanic mats adhere to hold stuff. My mats are not any way restraining stuff, if i slam a drawer the stuff moves to the front of drawer.

We have always used museum putty, but have recently changed to this stuff. Seems good. Same product Marathon uses.

There are a couple of different "strengths" of museum putty. Most things will only need the regular version but heavier or definitely top heavy items will be best held with the extra strength museum putty.
