[QUOTE="Zeespark, post: 89891, member: 400"] Hia all hope I am not making a prat of meself by asking this question. But first the dilemma. I have tried to chisel out a single and double box next to eachother (25mm back boxes) In doing this I have shattered about a brick and a half out of the internal wall of the cavity. I have had limited success in bonding the boxes back into the wall but they are very deeply laid in and the allignmentment is sadly all over the place. I have also plugged and screwed both boxes. Now to the question... Would you ladies/gents leave the back boxes as they are, or wait for the sand/cement mix to fully harden, lever out the back boxes and carefully rechase the boxes in? Many thanks AndyGuinness [/QUOTE]
