Trunking and making holes
Hi DIY fans Have 2 questions
First, have a plank of wood (about 2 metres by 15 cm). It is about 1.5cm thick. I need to scre it onto the wall and I have allocated and screwed out 5 holes on the plank t - which is where I wil lscrew through the wood and into the wall Question is what is the ebst way to accuratley drill into the wall behidn so the holes in the wood match up with the ones I need o nthe wall? I see 2 options try and draw out the wood on the wall and hope it is accurate Use a pencil like device - put it through the hoels and make a mark that way - problem is no pencil has a tip of 1.5cm to go through the wood and also the holes are fairly small - is there a device designed to do this? Secondly, I need soem truning and due to legth I need the best optio nseems to be self adhesive on a roll. I need to trunk 2 telephone wires and a network cable - so not too thick Is this stuff on a roll any good and how to you go around corners? i.e ones that stick in and out? And what about right angles? thanks |
