Hi,
I have one of those devices that you can use to locate Studs for attaching to, Pipes, cables etc, It was great in my old house (built @1950), but I now have a new buil (2009) and I think that there might be some reflective foil on the back of the plaster board, boucing back to signal, becauuse it always makes the noise that it is supposed to, is there a new version of these, that can be use with plasterboard with reflective foil?
I guess there are a couple of alternatives:-
1) Tap on the plasetboard and listern until you get a 'Thud', then there should be Stud behind.
2) As I want to locate stud to fix some batterning for shelves, make were shef is going and dril small holes every so often.
3) Don't worry about Stud fixing, just use Cavity Fixing Pluags.
Thanks
Steve
