Drill through the dimples with a masonry bit - 8mm diameter at 250mm centres, for plastering (25 plugs per square metre) or allow 15 plugs per square metre for plasterboard fixing on adhesive 'dabs' - position around the edges of the sheet and randomly for each 'dab' position.

The white plug has 'fir tree' serration's,

to tightly grip the inside of the hole

Fit the seal washer or use Mastic Rope, provided in the kit to seal behind the head

Drive the plug home with a hammer until

the head is nicely flush,
