Can't find it in B&Q or Homebase?
Just what shelf DO they put it on?!

Mine were supplied by Hilti. The Screwfix catalogue (www.screwfix.com,
IIRC) does epoxy capsules and also acrylic cartridges of the stuff.
These resins are specifically designed for the job, other types may give
an unpredictable performance, so exercise caution if you decide to use a
5 minute epoxy!.

It's manufactured by Rawlplug and some B&Qs do it and some don't. Have a
look at

http://www.rawlplug.co.uk/product2.htm

I don't know why it's not easier to find in, but no doubt now its been shown
on 'Ground Force' it'll become an instant hit.

Well I guess a B&Q warehouse will have it, but then they do seem to have
a better stock than many of the 'specialist' merchants


But I'd have though a decent BM would have it.

Chemfix make some types (glass capsules full of goop, grit and a tube of
powder). Hilti have their own proprietory stuff too which comes in a
double barelled mastic gun affair.

Go to your local fasteners emporium and thay will have a range of
technologies (look in yellow pages)

They are usually supplied as a 2 part kit - chemical anchor & bolt.

See page 16 of the ScrewFix catalogue (vol 53). It's under Injection
Fixing - Polyester Resin "Rapid Cure Chemical Anchoring System", on the
same page as Wall Plugs and Cavity Fixings.
