[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 4518162, member: 549629"] Ive seated t-nuts with a hammer. After not being able to remove a speaker because of a t-nut, I experimented and found that even when pounding the tongs in flush, it didnt take much pressure to back them out. They just dont seem to like material as dense as mdf. I never tried epoxy with them, Id rather just use the threaded inserts a few people above posted pics of. The thought of having to cut my box in half keeps me from experimenting with gluing nuts in place too much. T-nuts probably work fine in birch, it's a real wood with grains. Ive never tried them in it, but I imagine they'd do alot better. Seems to be more the type of mertial they were designed to work in. Ive seen some t-nuts with longer prongs on them, Ive never tried them in mdf. They probably do better. But after having a bad experience with them once, Im prone to just moving in another direction altogether (thread inserts). [/QUOTE]
