Any one know of a stud finder the will find studs thru 18mm on top of poster board?
Keep debating whether or not fix my huge cabinets to the studs.
The client says no.
And don't want to move the cabinets as I have them right where I want them.
Never mind: moved the cabinets. Too easy. All sorted.Thanks,

I've never met a stud finder that doesn't work, excepting naturally flat batteries & broken units. It's merely a case of using it properly. Start the detection process (calibration) over a known cavity, which sets the density sensors in such a manner as to actually detect.
Keep the button continually depressed from calibration to detection modes & lo & behold, Robert's your father's brother. Simple, really. I suppose as a last, desperate, if-all-else-fails, crazy, out-of-character resort you could actually read the instructions. Not that I've ever had to give up my own time-proven (& wasting) strategy of trial & error, but I once knew somebody who swears that he actually saw a fellow looking through some instructions once. He said it was for a Westinghouse Intercontinental Ballistic Missile or something. Or maybe setting up timer recording on a Video Cassette Recorder.
An expensive alternative are those Wall &/or Concrete scanners from Bobbie Bosch, which will "detect" through about 50-75mm of substrate.Sycophant to nobody!
