What materials are these plugs suitable for?

Can I use these plugs in plasterboard walls?

What is the screw size compatibility?

What if the hole is too big?

How do I remove the plug if I make a mistake?
You can use a screw or a plug extractor tool to remove the plug. Otherwise you can carefully cut it flush with the wall and patch over the area.
Troubleshooting
The plug spins when the screw is tightened.
Ensure the drilled hole is the correct size (6mm). If necessary, use a slightly larger screw or replace the plug.
The screw doesn't feel secure.
Make sure the plug is fully inserted into the wall. Try a longer screw.
The plug is not flush with the wall.
Tap the plug gently with a hammer until it sits flush with the wall surface.
