How can I drill into a wall that has plasterboard on the outside but really crumbly stone on the inside.?
The wall crumbles. Could I maybe use a titanium drill bit?
Answers:
Really crumbly stone on the inside? Usually decorative stone or brickwork is on an outside wall, and fireplaces use harder bricks or stone for their faces. Your crumbly stone may be old plaster?
It's always best to mount pictures, mirrors, etc from the verticle wall beams [studs] for support. If you have to drill into soft stone,lube the hole with water and keep the masonry bit clear and cool with a water cup. If mounting something, use the appropriate lead or plastic bolt anchor, which should specify what the final drill size is.
try using a drill
very easily I should think
you may not need to. depends what your fixing to it as you can buy plenty of different types of plaster board fixings
Use any masonary bit to go through the plaster. "Regular" bits such as those for wood often dull in stone.
Not a titanium bit, they are for metal, you'll ruin it. What are you trying to do, hang something on the wall or drill right through? More information = more help!
Obtain a longer than normal drill , drill right into the crumbly masonery, its usually only crumbly on the skin, use normal plugs ,buy extra-long screws, They are made in some lengths these days, I saw one , a no,10 head and about 5" long
it would depend on wether you want a hole, say for a cable, or a fixing there. I see the other answers cover plasterboard fixings, if you go to Wickes or someone, they will advise based on what you want to fix to it.
