I've recently been using resin fixings in walls that are hard to mount stuff on and have used them for a TV bracket and microwave oven bracket.

They're great for really heavy stuff but quite expensive with the resin, nozzels, bits of studding required.

I'm thinking of adapting the technique for stuff that's less heavy by sticking a piece of slimmer studding in hole with "No More Nails" type stuff and letting it set overnight.

I'm wondering what brand of the stuff would be best for this - something that dries nice and hard/solid. Stixall?

Two part epoxy? You can buy it in 'tubs' which is cheaper than the small
tubes if you need a lot but I'm not sure if it will be cost effective
compared to the 'proper' resin stuff. Either way, removing the dust is
key, an air line would help. Twist the studding in to ensure it fills
the voids. Also, a 'blind' hole- not into the cavity, assuming it is a
cavity wall. Try to keep the stud in the middle somehow, perhaps a
cardboard template?

I hoping for something a bit less viscous that comes in a single tube and can be just squirted in - apart from that epoxy would be very good and probably even more solid than the "real" stuff!

Why?

Just use Screwfix's no nonsense resin - it's cheap enough...

£5.99

And you know it works. No more nails costs about the same.

No more nails is a quid from poundland. But resin's not expensive, a cartridge lasts years if you tinfoil cap it. If you don't want to pay for studding just resin a wallplug in & use a screw later. Epoxy can be got for £1 at poundland too if you're brassic. Glue a bit of wood in the hole and not much gets used.

If you want to cut costs even further, just use ordinary wall filler, pushing a wallplug into it, let it set 2 days then screw in.

Had to laugh a few years ago when in a shop there were video screens either
side of a plasterboard wall and all they had done is put bolts through the
plasterboard so if somebody wanted to take one down the other would fall off
as well.

About 50p each when I last bought them, for a different style of cart. But if you're just doing a few holes there's no point getting nozzles, just squeeze a bit out, mix it with a matchstick and stuff the hole.

I just use a 2 part polyester filler e.g. Profil from Toolstation

Profill (with 2 Ls) appears to be not unlike car body filler?

Stixall etc (modified silicone) has some flex when set...

A bit more gloopy, but that's a good indication of resin content

If necessary gloopiness can be made livable by stuffing things into the gaps that help hold the gloop in place. Screws, slivers of wood etc.

I've mixed sand in before too, but not convinced this would be a good app for that.
