FAQs

What is the diameter and length of the Drybase Plaster Membrane Plugs?

The plugs are 8mm in diameter and 60mm in length.

What materials can these plugs be used on?

These plugs are suitable for brick, concrete, and stone substrates.

Do I need any special tools to install these plugs?

You will need an 8mm drill bit and a hammer.

Can I use these plugs with any type of plaster membrane?

These plugs are designed for use with Drybase plaster membranes. Always check the plaster membrane's manufacturer instructions for compatibility.

How do I ensure a good seal?

Ensure the plugs are fully inserted and that the membrane is securely attached, covering the plug heads completely.

What should I do if the plug won't go in?

Check the hole size. You might need to adjust your drill bit size. Also, clear any debris from the hole.

Can I paint directly over these plugs?

Yes, the plugs are designed to be covered with board adhesive, plaster, and a skim finish, which can then be painted.

Troubleshooting

Plug won't stay in the hole.

Check the hole diameter and depth. Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris. Use a slightly smaller diameter drill bit for a tighter fit or use a different hammer to drive the plug.

Plug head breaks off during installation.

Avoid over-hammering. If this happens, try a gentler hammer or replace the plug.

Membrane isn't secure.

Ensure plugs are driven in fully. Check the membrane for proper adhesion. Consider using additional adhesive.
