Hi – I’m trying to use a spring anchor to attach curtain rails to a plasterboard wall.  There is a huge amount of insulation in the wall, to the point that the spring won’t open. Do I need a different type of anchor?  Now have two big holes in the wall for the anchors :(

Advice gratefully received. I’m a complete beginner. Thanks.

    Just push something into the wall to push the insulation out of the way. Basically go in and out with you anchors until they open up and grab.
