Hi,just starting to fix some telephone (and ADSL) cable into a cavity behind askirting board.The litttle cable grips may be fine on wood but they are not much use onbrick with mortar joints.Any reason not to use 'no more nails' or similar?The main concern is that it may leach chemicals out of the sheathing, makingthe cable brittle.Any other suggestions for a 'dab and fix' material for this?TIADave R

Thay've always worked OK for me, the nails are supposed to be masonrynails.Do you need to fix them at all?

Does 'no more nails' = 'no more cable grips'?

No.

No more nail polish remover = cautic soda = no more nails.

I remember seeing wall plugs specially for cable clips - little red ones. Haven't seen them recently. I think they were made by Tower.
