(Ignoring the aesthetic of such rails...)
I need to fix a new dado to the hall and wall up the stairs. Wall is new plaster on 1905 brickwork, with wallpaper on top.
I understand the logic that would discount gripfill / no more nails on the basis that they would only be as strong as the wallpaper paste holding up the paper (albeit spread over a larger area etc etc), so some form of hard fixing is required, probably in addition to some adhesive.
My quandry is that, once presented to the wall, how to I match any holes in the dado into holes in the wall to put fixings through? Would I drill both in-situ, or do I have to do some very careful marking up. If drilling through, what is the neatest way to hide the holes created?
All help gratefully received!
