billytheghillie Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Help, fitting cabinet to wall with rawl bolts did not work. Now I am going to use threaded bar. Can anyone tell me what resin I should use to anchor threaded bar? and where can I buy it online. thanks PW mass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansk65 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Have you tried concrete coach bolts?, they are proper good and tighten up real good, saves pratting on with resin, just drill a pilot hole and screw them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victorismyhero Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 well you wont fix much of anything to it if it is plaster and lath, and certainly NOT a gun cabinet..well at least not securely anyway... find a perimeter wall (for preference) or an internal load bearing wall (but make sure that it is indeed brick of stone, I have seen timber load bearing walls) try a trial hole to make sure you are getting brick/stone dust...

discobob Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 If it is black powder that is coming out it sounds like it is some type of cinderblock or hollow/concrete block cinderblock is very soft - and should be treated as thermalite block which requires a rawl plug which has a large screw thread on. Can you remove the top surface to get at what is underneath the plaster - if so, when you do - use a screw driver and see if you can push it in without much effort. If you cant - use the concrete bolt. If when you drill a hole you hit voids you would be best with the resin bolts and resin sheaths - just use the screwfix resin - the sheaths are Fischer and are sold in a qty of something like 50. If the substrate is powdery and soft - Resin would not be a good thing to use. It is a shame you don't live closer as I could have sorted you out from my stuff.

B725-chris Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Best fixed to an outside/neighbouring, solid wall. Mines fixed using threaded bar and chem-fix. Just for good measure, the side and rear are bonded using windscreen adhesive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
