Hi All,
I am trying to fix a guitar hanger to a wall that has two layers of plasterboard on a studwork frame. I am trying to put a fitting thats inbetween the studs. So its 2 layers of plasterboard so 25mm plus 25mm stud/gap before brickwork.
I have tried to use a long plug (70-75mm) with a rigid sleeve thats specifically designed for spanning the gap. http://www.drylinepro.com/ Unfortunately after drilling the hole the screw doesnt seem to tighten just keeps turning. I think the back end of the plug is not gripping in the brickwork, possibile that I have hit a line of mortar.
Is there something I can use that can help the back of the plug bite and bridge the gap in the cavity? I thought about using expanding foam but I doubt its good enough to fix too? I was thinking that drywall adesive would be perfect but its getting it into the back of the hole would be tricky. Is the a sealant gun adhesive thats strong enough? (need one with a relatively narrow nozzle).
Simplest thing would be to move the fitting in-line with a stud, but cant be seen to be filling holes in the wifes expensive wallpaper.
Any advice much appreciated.
