![]() Unfortunately this particular window goes right up to the corner of the wall. Given the both toggle and Molly bolts expand out behind the plaster, wouldn’t they just get caught on each other and not work properly? Or will they still work in close proximity? Picture of hardware is from my attempted and failed install: The hardware for hanging the curtain rods requires three screws and they aren’t that far apart. What if I try a toggle or Molly bolt and it doesn’t work - how do I remove it? ![]() U/IamRick_Deckard u/tyrrtll u/Actuarial_type u/Hadespuppy Thanks for the tips! So, follow-up questions… ![]() They are very secure and it was totally worth it! So for the remaining pieces of hardware, knowing which areas would have sufficient space behind the plaster and lath and which wouldn’t, I used two Molly bolts and one plastic ribbed anchor for each piece of hardware. I succeeded with one snap toggle but it was challenging to fit it into the wall, and in other spots impossible. All it took was two months and multiple different wall anchors. What are my options from here? Is it possible to fill the holes, redrill, then insert a glue of some kind followed by the anchors, let dry, then try the screws again? Any better solutions?ĮTA: UPDATE…I was able to successfully install the hardware and hang my curtains. So now I have a larger hole than I started with. ![]() That is until I tried to insert the screws…then each turn just took the anchors on a little dance inside my wall. You could hear the plaster crunching inside the hole as I secured the anchors but they seemed to tighten alright. I’m trying to secure some hardware for curtains to the plaster wall in my bedroom. ![]()
