Bit of a nightmare this weekend attempting to fit a mantlepiece. Long story short, having tried two sizes of expansion bolts, I’ve now got one hole too large for the 10mm fitting and one too large for the 12mm fitting.
Why does drilling masonry create such a bloody mess?! Am hesitant to continue boring because of the carnage.
Is there a magic polymer solution I can use to stick the bolts into the wall? Mantlepiece not load baring, just needed for nik nak display.
