This is what I'm looking for - it's a pack of circular pieces of fabric, impregnated with plaster. You soak them, wrap it round a wall plug and push the plug into the wall, where it makes a solid bond - great for those times when the hole you've drilled is too wide for the wall plug and it keeps falling out. Does anyone know what these are, and where you can get them?

    You may well find them in builders merchants and the larger "shed" outlets (B&Q Wickes etc. ) plus Screwfix have trade counters in various parts of the country.
