   i have a laguna splitter on at the minute and its held in with about 10 screws in to my normal splitter.
   
   the problems is that the screw work themselves loose and it keeps coming out.
   
   has anyone got any ideas??
   i was going to silicone seal some block of wood or plastic to the back of my standard splitter and then screw into that??
   
   cheers

   ive got about 11 wood screws in it, if the screws are too bit then they come through the front of the original splitter

   wood screws?? Id say theyre probably not the type you need to be using. Put a drop of tiger seal along the edges aswel, it wont shift with that stuff on

    if i used cable ties it would look worse than it does now,
    
    when i have time im going to use some blocks, seal them on the existing splitter and then screw it into them with some big arse screws.
    
    and then if that doesn't work im going to burn it!!
