Good video, but I wanted to point something out that you may not be aware of. Your hanging scale changed from lbs to kgs when you tested the Easy Sands w/ Fibafuse, and stayed that way for the rest of the video. That drastically changes some of the results.
Thank you so much for pointing this out and I didn’t catch this! No worries, just convert the kgs to lbs. ( 1 KGS = 2.20462 LBS ) . Thank you so much for catching this and I’m truly sorry! 🙏🏽😅
Your best video yet IMO. It's great comparing different solutions and using measurable differences to prove the winner. Keep it up
I used the Wet N Fix. Worked like a charm. Needed on a four 3-hole brackets to mount a heavy automated window blind. Every anchor securely attached to the drywall Easy set up, clean up and quick. No sanding necessary. Ordered off of Amazon as I couldn't locate this product in any nearby stores. Great advice!!
Perfect, I already have JB weld in my bathroom from fixing my drawers yesterday. Now it has another use
Thank you for making this video. I learned so much.
Thank you Nathan for watching! I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
This is exactly the info I needed to fix a problem I caused putting an anchor in drywall that got totally messed up. Going to try the JB Weld. Thank you!
Thanks for all your work on this video...SUPER HELPFUL!!
Good tests and review! I'm for the JB Weld.
Thank you! JB weld is awesome! 👍🏽😊
Excellent channel young man!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
really nice video I guess the answer is whatever works for you. A lot of creative suggestions
Thanks guy!
Great video brother. JB for the win.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊 I’ll have your tracking for your protractor soon! Sorry been so busy 🙏🏽
@@FixThisHouse no worries brother. Life happens and family first always.
Great video. Like you said some of these will be a lot easier than others to sand. And also paint over - I’m guessing stuff like jb weld won’t be easy to paint. So in many cases a less strong solution that’s easier to finish will be a better option … depending on what you need to fix!
This is awesome. I have tops 5lb weight for basement curtains and one side of the rod has come out. So going to try the hot glue one.
JB weld it is! Lol good vid bro!
Thank you!
Which position was the toggle bolt on the back? At 12 & 6 or 9 & 3? Could’ve made a difference since the hole was bigger at the 6 o’clock position. I used them to fix a hole in my closet where anchors failed & I positioned it at 9 & 3 and there’s at least 15 lbs on the shelf & a rod with clothes hanging 4ft wide & hasn’t budged.
Great information, brilliantly delivered. Just a bit long. Don't change the style. From Belfast Northern Ireland.
One mistake, half way through on the Easysand5/FibaFuse, your scale switched to KG instead of LBS, so i would take all the results after and just double to get close to LBS, so some of those where actually fairly strong.
Thanks.
You are very welcome! 🙏🏽😊
Good video
Wingits are an overkill but will supposedly hold up to 300 lbs. The downside is the hole has to be enlarged to about 3/4 inch diameter. I use them for handrail mounts when there is no stud available in the right place.
Any tips on how to fix chips and scratches on hardwood floors?
I would like to know how to fix a shower door because there's one or two screw always fall each time we take a shower. Thanks
Togglebolts work well, but you are correct. The bolt ends up cutting through the gypsum.
The SOLUTION to this is using something like a short sleeve on the bolt, even a piece of plastic straw will work.
I have used a cut piece of plastic pen and the result was an extremely strong wall anchor.
But, as was said before, drywall is not designed for holding heavy loads; however, if thr ENTIRE piece of drywall and the paper backing is intact, then you have some strength.
Best bet is tapping into studs, OR inserting a stud (cut hole into drywall, insert the wood, drill into it for holding into place, repair the wall).
All depends of what is needed re: the wall anchor.
JB weld or Bondo. All others just talk the talk!
The comment by @meljenkins1016 (below) is absolutely the best answer. You should never expect drywall to support more than one or two pounds of weight. Drywall is not designed to support any substantial weight. It will crumble and fall apart. You should find a wall stud and put a two-inch wood screw into it to support any more than 2 pounds weight.
That said, I would use a toggle screw to replace a loose drywall anchor.
Isn't there a variety of hot glues? They might have their own ranked list if tested.
I hoped you had used matchsticks...I've used toothpicks & they work pretty well.
Or just get another style anchor that would work easily and better with all those size holes
came for the matches, left because there were no matches
Why not just use a toggle bolt?
It was mentioned on the video 👍🏽
Seriously folks, you have to understand that drywalls are made from Gypsum. Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral. Applying all types of hardeners around those blue plastic grips helps stabilize it in place. However, beyond those hardeners is Gypsum which is soft and still will not hold it in place. I have a bathroom cabinet sink. I used butterfly bolts to hold it in place. It held pretty good, but in time constantly leaning on the sink caused the Gypsum around the butterfly bolts to become loose and the cabinet sink started to come loose from the wall. The best way is literally drill the screw straight into the wall stud. This is the procedure they use to mount supports to hold your 55 inch flat screen TV on the wall.
@meljenkins1016 - Yours is absolutely the best answer. If you are trying to support more than one or two pounds of weight, you'd best find a wall stud and put a two-inch wood screw directly into the stud. Gypsum dry-wall is NOT designed to support any substantial weight.
Toggle bolts are not designed to take a side load
🤔
I bought a bunch of those drywall anchors featured at 1:20 seconds into the video and they absolutely suck. The lip on the outer front are smaller in diameter than the middle portion thats designed to split open on the back end. The end result is an anchor that slips all the way through the wall once the whole is wide enough to get it into the wall in the first place. Absolutely awful product.
Customarily one would install some sort of face plate/cover/whatever-you-are-mounting on the front side of the drywall. That also distributes the stress more broadly than a screw head.
I need to find way to stop drop-in anchors from spinning inside soft concrete wall. Used JB weld and it failed (spun). Next attempt will be to soak hole with adhesion promoter spray with hopes it will ooze into surrounding soft concrete and harden it (make it less crumbly. Then JB weld. Admittedly using cheap shit Chinese made drop in anchors that are too smooth and promote spinning. But alas all available drop ins are all Chinese junk. Grrr
Try lead masonry anchors (which are zink-plated). When you tap them in they conform to the hole (which will not be perfectly round and smooth).
