Hello

http://www.allproducts.com/manufactu...r/product1.jpg

Having just fitted four of these into brickwork (amazingly without
cracking
any of the bricks like I managed to do a month ago, and amazingly
getting
all four to line up with where they were supposed to be), it occurs
to me
that maybe I should spray something into the hole before I tighten
up the
rawlbolt. I thought some form of silicone spray to prevent water
ingress.
Then I thought about some form of grease to stop the rawlbolts from
seizing
up should I need to remover them at some future juncture.

Please advise - or should I just press on and get them fitted and
stop
messing about!

Thanks

Either aproach will decrease the grip of the Rawlbolt in the brick. If
you want to be able to unscrew the bolt in the future I would dip the
last 1/2" of thread in 'Copperslip' grease before screwing it in. And
in future if worried about cracking the bricks consider using
'chemical anchors' ie resin squirted in the hole and a stud pressed
in - wonderful stuff imo.
