Re-hanging fixings

Problem:
Having problems rehanging curtain rails, shelves & light fittings when the original hole is irregular, damaged or too big to accept a wall plug?

Fix it with:
Polycell Plug it

It's a new easy to use filler which when kneaded, sets hard and accepts screws immediately in even the most problematic holes. It is also super strong, which enables it to permanently hold wall fixtures up to 20kg.

You can do it:
Cut a length of strip sufficient for the hole to be filled. Remove the protective film from both sides of the cut strip. Knead (wearing suitable gloves) the strip until a uniform colour is obtained. Push product into hole until it is fully filled. A flat blade tool can be used for this. Remove excess material and ensure flush with the hole. Centrally insert screw 1/2 way using light finger pressure to create a pilot hole. Leave screws in place to set for 1 hour. Remove screw, position the fixture (e.g. bracket or shelf) and then fully tighten screw until flush with fixture (do not overtighten). Always follow manufacturers instructions for the fixture.
