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.

Just watched your other video too. You've saved me a lot of headaches, time and money searching for the best quick fix method! Thank you for explaining this 👌

[chriskraft]

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!!

[suzysandberg]

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!

[chiquitaf]

Perfect, I already have JB weld in my bathroom from fixing my drawers yesterday. Now it has another use

[asnpride]

Thank you for making this video. I learned so much.

[TheHowserhowser]

Great information, brilliantly delivered. Just a bit long. Don't change the style. From Belfast Northern Ireland.

[true_believer]

really nice video I guess the answer is whatever works for you. A lot of creative suggestions

[dgood]

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!

[michaelp]

Your best video yet IMO. It's great comparing different solutions and using measurable differences to prove the winner. Keep it up

[jjjacer]

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.

[tuneinlife]

Good tests and review! I'm for the JB Weld.

Im trying to fix a shelf that fell and think this video is awsome

[texascottonfarmer]

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.

[jcpersaud]

Thanks for all your work on this video...SUPER HELPFUL!!

[Leslie-karren]

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.

[Iron]

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.

[dontderockmerizz]

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.

[sabaescobar]

Any tips on how to fix chips and scratches on hardwood floors?

[Milpower]

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.
