Matchsticks or other slivers of wood work great. Basically any softish material.

It might of worked in someone else's house. But nothing works in this bloody house. I feel like going on the drink.

Did this into drywall with fischer style plugs. The holes were blown out and spinning. I accidentally over drilled them. Used 4 pieces of 14 or 12 gauge wire. Worked perfectly. Thank you.

Thanks very much for the tip about using a piece of wire. I used a bit of wire that's usually used for tying up cables and it worked a treat! I'm definitely gonna remember this in future. I usually hate dealing with rawlplugs but now I feel a lot better haha. Cheers!

@demonetizedhistory5806 Жыл бұрын

U can use anything pretty much, anything that's strong yet can be malleable but doesn't just break if that makes sense.

I use the wind from the drill motor to cool of my body from sweat after working 😂 i dont blow the hole from the dust because the dust will also help little bit when you put wallplug 🤣

Somebody double-drilled a hole for a curtain tie hook at different angles.. didn't have spare cable to hand but wrapping tape around the plug worked a treat to fill the hole enough to stop it spinning and wearing out the plaster. Cheers for that.

Works....faffy...but it works....you could easily just split another plug into 4 parts and put them.in around the full plug. Far less faff

Why specifically copper cable? Wouldn't other type of cable/metal that is multi strand work just as well?

@MrAndrewjdavis 2 жыл бұрын

Copper is soft and deforms to fill the space. Steel won't work as well.

@nigelpollitt5124 11 ай бұрын

Hm, I"d say this is ok as a bodge, but it's better to fill the hole and redrill generally, then you get a truly lasting fix

why wouldn't solid core copper work?

@brieftodo Жыл бұрын

It may work but solid copper wire far less malleable compared to stranded copper wire when doing this trick so you would might need to use an impact driver.
