Fixing bolts with resin

Cheers lads, 14mm it is.
Dumper it’s to fix a gun cabinet in a typical crappy papier-mâché new build.
I’d rather not go into external brickwork.

My mate got told to secure to wall AND also the floor with his, down the scenario you have Mark, being in to thermolite block which is like trying to fix to a crumbly cheese.

Shotgun mate.

I spoke to the firearms officer about the shite quality of modern houses last time I fitted a cabinet.

Concealment also helps, as does siting it so you can’t lever it easily.

 

Ratman, the floor isn’t worth fixing to, it’s going upstairs.

 

I’m cutting it fine for renewal anyway, and now I can’t find the bloody passport photos I had done this morning.

In which I look like an unshaven criminal psychopath.

Sounds like you're on the ball, mate.

The size hole required is normally on the side of the resin tube. Cant say I would trust thermalite for much other than something to fix plasterboard too. Alternatively if it's a one off job and you dont already own a dedicated resin gun you can use resin anchors
