Did you get your shelf hung - the problem with papercrete attachments usually stems from pullout - the screw in anchor shields work well - the shields screw in so tight i have actually striped them out with the drill - they screw in first then a separate smaller screw, screws in to them , as large as possible is best -Clyde

I have been thinking of all sorts of different ways to make sure the shelf doesn't fall down. I even looked at some of those fancy fasteners but don't know what to buy. There are some that have a plastic part the goes into the hole first and some that have little wing thingies that stick out if you put them into drywall. I also thought I would glue a decorative piece of punched tin to the wall behind where the brackets will go. I just don't know, but I want that shelf up there soon. It's a 2x12 12 feet long to span an entire wall. I have 4 beautiful cast iron brackets to hold it up.
