How to mount a clothesline into brick?

[Bell_1986]

Hello I recently have had a man attempt to mount my fold down clotheline to new build brick house standard austral bricks using ramset ankerscrews 8mm (that i supplied) and it failed. I changed my clothesline and the bracket will take 6mm Max. I'm not sure if there is a way to utilise the exsisting holes from the 8mm ramset ankerscrew fail or if new holes will be needed and if so attempt to use 6mm ankerscrews - will be strong enough and why did fail first time.

Did you wait between drilling holes and the chemset went off? I havnt used chemset in years but any of the extrusion through a nozzel stuff I have used I look at it will give me a few days to use elsewhere before the curing effect travels through the nozzel to the tube. For silastic I have used a small self tapper screw into the end to seal it. 

With Chemset I would say that once the materials mix in the nozzel it starts the curing of the material. You can get extra nozzels at the paint counter btw

Hi @foxhound,

As @Dave-1 has said, Chemset and other chemical anchors are comprised of two parts that mix in the tube. Once they have begun to mix, unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to stop them from hardening.

In future, I would suggest removing the nozzle and cleaning it out with some water. You can then cap off the tube with a screw or some cling wrap to preserve the rest of the tube.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
