The gas block is a popular material for construction. There are many reasons to opt for it. First of all - excellent heat-saving properties. Houses made of gas blocks do not require additional insulation, the blocks themselves are quite lightweight, which allows using a lightweight foundation, which means saving a significant part of the budget. The gas block has a strict geometric shape, and this allows you to make masonry with a thin seam and not spend extra money on finishing work. In a word, this material is good for everyone, with the exception of one nuance: fragility. And we are even talking about the fact that it is not easy to hang kitchen shelves on such walls. Under a relatively light load, the block crumbles, and the dowels fall out of it, not having sufficient support. Is there a way to deal with this problem? There is! And the author of the YouTube channel told about it Stroyhak. He not only gave advice, but also in practice showed a simple device that will help implement the proposed method.

What is a chemical anchor and why is it suitable for a gas block
Chemical anchor is a technique that allows you to fix the dowel in any material. The point is that a compound is poured into the prepared hole in the wall, which is firmly fastened to the wall material and fixes a dowel or a hairpin and a self-tapping screw in it. The composition for a chemical anchor is selected depending on your needs, but epoxy resin, Ceresit glue and Knauf mix show the best results. And there is one more nuance that will guarantee the strength of the connection.
What is required to make a conical drill
To make a tapered hole in a gas block or concrete, you need a special drill. The price of such a drill bit starts at 1,500 rubles. But do not rush to spend money: you can do it yourself, and literally from what is at hand.
The last thing to prepare is a regular metal washer with a hole the size of the drill.
How to make a conical drill for aerated block
To make a conical drill for a gas block, you need to make a through hole in the handle.
How to use a tapered drill
The operating principle of the conical drill is very simple. Start by simply drilling a hole in the gas block in the usual way.
Such an anchor is capable of withstanding enormous loads. It is more likely that your stud will break than this anchor will succumb to force. And what is very important: the surface of the gas block will remain intact and safe.
So, what we have: an old furniture handle and a drill against a factory product worth from 1,500 rubles. This is not a bad economy with an excellent result.
