I'm trying to hang a coat rack on a lime wall. I have thick granite walls with lime plaster about 2 inches think but it varies. Using ordinary masonry plugs, the screws just work loose. Someone said using epoxy is the answer but all I can find is heavy duty anchors for exterior. Any ideas? What I hoped would be a quick drill a few holes and hand the pictures ain't the case.

it would be very preferable to drill through the plaster and into the stone. A large scab of plaster may fall off as it has little strength. You could use frame fixings which have very long plugs.
To save drilling so many holes you could screw a batten to the wall and put the hooks on that.

Thanks, think I might use frame fixings with a masonry resin epoxy. It was intention to use a piece for wood for all the hooks. The lime is so soft, I doubt the fixings would hold on their own. I also have to to drill and fix brackets for TV also on a lime plastered wall.
