rawl plugs and wall fixings

[ladylola]

I've used wedges , toothpicks and resins in my time but I'm surprised no one has yet suggested that if a hole fails just drill another one

Why? It will not be where you wanted it, or why drill it there in the first place.

I use cocktail sticks, break them in half and then they can be inserted until the hole is full, finally tapping the last bits in with a hammer.

Sometimes I prefer this to rawlplugs and having to wait for nonails to dry.

I always use cocktail sticks and pack it out .....excellent results

To be fair in most cases if a fixing fails then putting in another a couple of inches to the side will do the job , it just leaves another hole to be filled and overpainted.
