Attaching brass mounting rods to crumbly drywall
So we have an upcoming exhibit on kayaks and have various other objects that we are mounting around the kayaks. We plan on attaching a harpoon as well as a paddle to the wall behind the kayak and I have created the mounts out of brass rod. I have had to mount various other things on these walls and know from experience that the drywall is crumbly and difficult to work with. We even mounted a panel on one of the walls using a anchor and the anchor fell right out before we even mounted the panel. I was curious if there was a better anchor or method of securing objects to a wall with poor quality drywall. Any tips would help
