Jaymo Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Assuming it’s std 12.5 mill plasterboard. Set the drill depth to about 11mm, your golden as your can literally turn the bit by hand until you pierce the inner paper of the board ( add on a few mill if the wall is skimmed. Then you will be in the void, unless you have hit the stud which would gain you better fixing anyways. I’m assuming that you also have the appropriate plasterboard fixings and not rawl plugs?

As mentioned, for the cost of postage each way, you can borrow mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice 👍 We got there eventually 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
