I have a bedroom curtain rail that is affixed with solid wall fixings.
The wall is solid plaster but the fixings are pulling out and the rail

I have been sucessful with this method in other rooms.

Anyway can someone tell me the easiest way to sort this out?

TIA.


I had a similar problem. Blow the dust out of the hole, maybe enlarge
it if necessary, fill with hot-melt adhesive from your glue gun, push in
a plastic plug, hold it for a few seconds to set, place your fingers in
iced water to ease the pain, then re-assemble.

It worked very well, was very quick to do, and mine are heavy curtains
with a 4" long cantilever supports. Not the neatest method, agreed.
