Chemical/resin anchor

[Steevo]

Anyone recommend any?

300ml tube better for extra depth than the 110mm capsules?

How do you work out how many you need for the job in hand?

I've used lots of different types and they all work. Last used Anchorset which is good as comes in standard size tubes for skeleton gun.
Make sure the first bit is mixed properly in the mixer nozzle.
If you can get some air to blow out the holes or vacuum out dust before then it's better.
Get some spare mixer nozzles as they are use once only.
Goes quite a long way as hole diameter is only 1-2mm bigger than threaded bar.
Brilliant product and goes off quick so you can get on with the job.

nozzle mix is what you want don't use in fresh concrete buy the small round wire brush to clean holes out and use a pump to blow dust out a bike pump would do , key is getting the hole dust free put plenty of resin in and twist the fixing as its inserted to get it in the threads if its in brick work that may have holes in the bricks use the mesh sleeving that is available

I've always got on well with Hilti hit, but you need a hilti gun. Fischer stuff seems ok aswell.

Screwfix's own brand No Nonsense polyester resin worked well for me.
Think it may be rebranded as Easyfix now.

Thanks for the advice. Found some Fisher FIS V which looks suitable for the job. Apparently it's the most suitable product they do and people normally use it for rebar and dowel joints in concrete. Crazy to think it's stronger than the concrete itself.

@Forever Fendt - thanks for the tip about fresh concrete hadn't thought of that before. Gave Fischer a call and they said 28 days.

Know someone that painted a fresh concrete floor once-what a mess! It stuck at first and then just flaked and flaked forever after. Lesson learned......never paint a concrete floor, fresh or not. Put a floor covering down instead.

@Steevo if you can leave it longer than the 28 days (when all concrete should meet its design strength by ) all the better as even at 28 days it does not drill so well when you get into it, Re painting the floor it would need etching first to give it a key for any finishes applied
