[TheForge] Stud finders

[Woolley]

Can anyone suggest a device ot technique that might help?

Maybe prayer.

Sorry I couldn't help that other response since installation is always the 
hardest part of any architectural job for me.  Finding studs sucks 
especially with a $40 sears stud finder.  I scrapped that and bought a 
decent Zircon unit at Home Depot that has served me well. I also do what is 
mentioned above.  I use a long galvanized finish nail for dry wall.  Thirty 
seven pounds isn't that heavy.  If the paneling is thick enough I don't 
think you need to worry about hitting a stud.
