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.

Wot Andrew said and for future reference these don't crack bricks and can be
easily removed & reused

(first product on page). Similar with a wider range of heads, but in bigger
packs

Wonderful fings imo.

Thanks Andrew, Medway - I think multi-montis will be my preferred choice -
especially once someone starts doing "handy packs" with half-a-dozen each of
different sizes.

I have used those chemical anchor bolts once before and yes, they were very
good indeed but unfortunately my local hardware shop doesn't do them. The
ones I used were a two-part epoxy where the activator lived in a glass
capsule - and the resin part had a load of granite "grit" admixed into it.
When you puched the anchor stud in and turned it round, it broke the cpasule
and pmixed it all up. Very good.

I've gone ahead into bare brick and all is well!

Thanks once again

The last one I got was from Builder Center (b****rs can't spell) and
comprises a pair of tubes joined to a common nozzle that has swirly
bits in to do the mixing. So long as you get spare nozzles, the dual
tube thingy can be kept quite a while. So I now keep a tube 'on the
shelf'
