    If I need to run a screw through something that may catch and bind on a screw I open a hole in the material by heating up a steel rod or phillips screw driver to melt a hole that will be open for the screw.

    I installed only 3 or 4 screws when installing the soundown for that very reason.

    Spray adhesive (I have forgotten which one but it may be in one of my prior posts) is working well.

    I used the 3M # 90 and it seems to be holding well but I need to suspend the fuel and electrical from the overhead and on sidewalls.
    Going to try the suggestion Jon gave.

    I had same issue so used only 3M adhesive without screws. Relocated the holdowns for cables etc. to the steel ceiling framework between panels.
