We used to use "cut nails when putting skirting on to thermalites, and bend them around as you nail them home. But now with all the "Grip" adhesives on the market I would probably suggest putting something like "Sticks like SH#T " on them... Maybe drill and plug to hold it till the adhesive goes off.....

Cut nails...the best frictional grip , tapered, cheap as chips
