How do I bang nails onto a concrete wall? |
Masonry nails will not go in neither will picture hooks. Years ago I had some good nails that went into concrete with a K on the end, someone must still sell these nails, or is there another way? I live in UK. buy some masonry nails to be specific. you can buy them at any hardware store. some come with a little washer on the end of them. or for hanging pictures you can also get plastic hooks with a sticky side facing the wall. im sure you can get these in hardware stores too. I have good luck with the following: With a masonary bit, drill a hole a bit larger and deeper than the nail. Be sure to determine the angle you want the nail to stick out. Fill the hole with one of the super glues on the market; e.g, "Gorilla Glue." Stick in the nail. When the glue sets, you will have a virtually unmovable nail, hook,whatever. you cannot knock a nail be it a masonry nail or any other type of nail into solid concrete ...you must use either a nail gun or you drill a hole first ...show me a man who says he can and i will show you a liar ..Ive been in construction for over forty years and never seen it done yet !but a hilti cartridge gun will soon sort it out Get a small carbide masonry bit and drill a pilot hole.Install nail in hole and hang pictures. ...and don't forget the concrete hammer. Usually in the same aisle as the above. why not use some srews and raw plugs just drill a few holes this would maybe easier. ok |
