Default Fixing to plasterboard wall

| Hi
|
| We have a plasterboard wall which is hollow, then another piece of
| plasterboard 2 inches behind it. We had a towel rack fitted to the wall
with
| rawl plugs and screws but it came lose. I decided to put it up again
using
| some special plasterboard fittings ( a circle of metal you screwed into
the
| plasterboard which had a thread in the middle to take the supplied screw.)
| Needless to say it lasted a week and now I am left with big holes.
|
| The rail needs to be fitted to the same location or the holes will be
| visible and the wall is decorated with wallpaper and we have none spare.
The
| hole is too big for rawl plugs so I'm not sure how to proceed. I was
| thinking of spraying some expandable foam into the hole and pushing in a
| rawl plug, any other ideas on how I can fix the bracket would be
| appreciated.
|

I use spring fixings for things that need to take weight - and they need a
big hole to get them in anyway!
