    Cellotape will do fine afterall none is going to see it just make sure its secure i wouldnt really want to put hot glue onto plastics

    is it a duct? then dont use duct tape!! :confused:

    glue it in/no nils/aryldite is good (you know, epoxy/glue used specvificly fo bonding plastic to metal) hot glue is a wase of ime.. wont ever melt a pannel tho :rolleyes:

    if its not going to be seen at the back, not sprayed at the back where the mesh is to be attached and theres plenty of overlap, just use high modulus silicone sealer (bath sealer)...once its gone off, it AINT going anywhere

    I have a 90cm x 60cm mirror held on a tiled bathroom wall with nothing but bath sealer and its been there 8 years to date

    when i was 16 i used some special sort of glue-tape for mine, its used for sticking up roadsigns so i doubt itd go anywhere. i stuck it on the panel, heated it up with a hot air gun til it was really sticky and gooey and then put the mesh on.

    as you wont be able to get hold of any of this glue tape and double sided tape wont do, as people have said before araldite, no more nails, or bathroom sealant will do it.

    or alternativley if you can get hold of it TIGERSEAL is really good, its used for car bodywork.

    thats what i did, but you may need additional adhesive to stick down bits that the screws dont cover

    screw it in and put silicone on the bits that arent screwed in.
