Easyfix both side screw-in Locators query
Hi All,
Now I’ve always used the glue on type of plastic locators on the back of Foamex 3D letters & find them incredibly easy to use. Just glue the male part to the letter backs, turn the letter over & lay them onto the template & the little spike marks the template to show where to drill & fit the female part. Simple!
By mistake yesterday I ordered the “both side screw” version!🙁 But I then thought ahh well maybe I can still use them instead rather than sending them back. But I then thought, how do these work? Obviously, you just use a flat or pan head screw to fix to the back of the letters, but then how do you mark the template?? No spike just a screw head!
So I called the supplier feeling sure they would have the answer, & maybe I was just being dim & there was something quite simple I was missing. But alas no, they really couldn’t help other than suggesting I swap for the glue on’s.
I can only presume that you need to use a dab of paint or something similar?
Can anyone enlighten me on these or does everyone use the glue on’s for this very reason?
Regards
Myles

Hi Rob,
Sorry no. I may have confused matters by not labeling the image. That was just to show the difference between the male parts of the glue on version on the left (that I usually use) & the screw on version on the right (the one I am questioning), They both have the same female part as shown in this image
