kilmca Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 yeah this is good way to do it. another way to do this is to take a piece of duct tape the length of the power strip and stick it to the back of the power strip. Mark where the holes are on the tape and then stick the tape to the mounting location. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisriverfisherman Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Why can't power strips just come with a template? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntoTheMystic Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Very good idea. If you don't have a copier handy, you can also use a pencil and a piece of paper. Lay the paper over the powerstrip and use the pencil to create a stencil. What I like about this method is that you can cut the paper to fit the space where you want to mount the strip. Simply place the stencil into the space, drill your pilot holes et voila! Much less tedious and much more exacting than measuring distances. Or, you can use xmas_one's method and cut out the stencil. Either way, you get a snug, secure mount for the powerstrip! Something near and dear to any aquarist's heart for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czczcz Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Great idea. Always hated mounting these things. I need to mount a couple in a new stand, thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
