however you should use the correct drill bit for the size of each
different
Rawl plug and try not to wobble the drill whilst going into the wall, if
the
hole becomes larger than the rawl plug then fill it with polyfilla and
push
the Rawl plug in and wait for the PF to harden before screwing a screw in.

the hole size needs to so tight that you have to use small hammer to tap
the
Rawl plug home. :-)

I understand that different coloured Rawlplugs are used with different screw
sizes and different drill sizes, but I've never found - even with a Google
search - a table showing the relationships. Does anybody have one, please?

Hi when you buy raw plugs, they come in a plastic strip, on the side of
the strip there is a size guide for the screws & drill size, = to the
size of the plugs you have bought, ok dead easy drill away !!
