Don't ever use it now as there are better products out there.

I use jackoboards for almost every installation these days.

lightweight. Thermally efficient. No silica. Cheaper!

I ALWAYS tell people if they are going to fix anything, to drill through tile into background, and then drill just the tile in the next size up bit.

SO, the plug fits flush with the wall, and not flush with the tile.........it lessons the chance of when the plug expands, of breaking the tile.

it makes sense to me.

I used to drill through the lot in one size, stick the plug on the end of the screw and tap it back with the hammer, then unscrew the screw with your fingers and the plug should stay put in the actual wall then and not be touching the tile.

Still a bit of a maul I guess but a different maul to the above ha
