  • Putting up twinslot shelving. 5 shortish uprights. Screws and Fischer plugs into plaster with brick behind. Second from left upright is about 3mm too high due to incompetent drilling, meaning the shelf won't rest on the first upright.

    Do I leave it or is it possible to fill the holes (what with) and re-drill slightly lower down, obviously the holes will mostly overlap.

    I'm considering either making the holes bigger, packing with wood and using woodscrews, or filling existing holes with milliput and redrilling.

  • I've filed the holes in Spur shelving brackets into slots with usable results - some abuse with a centre punch will even give something close to countersinking - also slots can be off vertical to allow for really rubbish marking out (don't ask how I know - MrsE hasn't noticed)

    Ooh. I do own a round file although probably not the right size. It's too high so would sit at the top of slots which gives me more confidence.
