    so it looks like the first liquid (applied by syringe) is a light oil to stop the hot glue sticking to the threads, then the "anchor" is essentially hot melt glue. am I seeing this correctly?

    Apparently, worth some experimentation. After all, what's cheaper than hot glue and handful of screws?
    With few, if any, needing removal, and a lot of brick to drill, this looks real good.

    Around here hot glue melts outside in the summer. Indoors it should be fine.

    I wonder if that is a harder hot glue, the stuff I have is rubbery and very flexible....
