I tend to only use Uno rawplugs for most jobs (I always have a stock of them) but at times find them a little small in length. I have often wondered which of the following 2 methods are strongest.
At times the screw needing to be used is a little longer than the plug (yes I could use a longer plug fixing, but humour me) and I have either done one of the following.
1) Drilled the hole to the length of the screw and buried the plug to the back of the hole, therefore accommodating the longer screw (longer than the plug)
2) Drilling the hole to the length of the screw, placing the plug as normal to the face of the wall and pushing the screw through the back of the plug to accommodate the longer screw.
Now ignoring the fact that I could choose a fixture that fits the screw more appropriately (please), which of the 2 methods would you choose, or if you are adamant that you would never do either, which theoretically would you say is a stronger fix.
Please don't respond with neither and give me alternative methods. I only want an opinion on which of the 2 would be best.
