5. Tighten bolt so molly expands behind wall and the collar flange
sets slightly into DW

6. Remove bolts

7. Put bolts through what you want to hang. A washer under the head
may be needed depending on how big a hole you drilled.

8. Screw bolts into molly inserts

If you ever remove your shelf all you need do is swipe a bit of
spackle or DW compound over the sunken collar of the molly. Easier


I think the concern is that there will be a bump where the spackle is
put over the molly, a big bump if the flange only "sets slightly" in
the DW.

than fixing a hole from a plastic insert, lots easier than fixing a
large hole from a toggle bolt or the big threaded DW anchors.
