I've just taken one of those wind out awnings off our back wall. It was a big old thing, and was mounted on two brackets, each held by four Hilti-type bolt fixings.
All bar one of the fixing 'shells' are still in the wall, the other one came out with the bracket. I had to soak them all in GT85 to get the bolts to release.
I assume I need to fill the holes to prevent water/damp ingress, so my questions are:
- do I need to fill them?
- do I just use silicon sealant?
- do I need to get the remaining 'shells' out first?
Ta.
External Polyfila?
That would leave eight white holes in the wall, silicone is a bit less obvious was my thinking
Point the holes? You can [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/cement-dye ]dye the mortar[/url] if you want a colour match.
What colour are you looking for? The external stuff I last used was fairly dark grey iirc
