Help! Keep hitting mortar!
Help! Keep drilling into mortar! Hi! I am trying to put up some shelves in the alcoves either side of the chimney breast in the spare room: Left side went great but the right side is a nightmare... I need the shelves to line up on both sides, but where I am drilling into the wall on the right side is along the mortar brick line for BOTH shelves! Is there anything I can do, any particular fixings, or ways to fill the crumbling holes I have made, to allow me to put both shelves up where I want? I've heard gripfill/epoxy may work, and putting in the plug before it sets... Any thoughts? Thanks! submitted by /u/Brez112 [link] [comments]
