[TheForge] Plate fixing methods

[G. Watts]

Can you just weld the studs to the back of the plate and figure a way to
wedge/shim/prop the whole piece up tight while the epoxy cures?

As part of a commission for a big curtain rail, I need to attach some 1/16"
plate to an old stone wall, which we think is a rubble wall under the
plaster.

Normally I'd use an injected resin system like this

I like the way it fills the oversized holes that often result when drilling
into an old soft wall of unknown quality.

However, it means that the plate is held on by nuts screwed onto studs that
project from the filled holes. This, I feel, doesn't look very nice.

Any suggestions for a more aesthetically pleasing attachment method?

Thanks,

Rich M.
