I live in a twin, and the units are connected by a common brick wall.
I want to install picture rail moulding on all of the interial walls, including the brick walls.
The picture rail moulding is used for hanging pictures, so it will bear a small amount of weight. At most, maybe five pounds between any two points where the moulding attaches to the wall (assuming an attachment point every 36" or so).
Is there any way I can attach the moulding to the wall with nails instead of screws? I've visited my local moulding supplier and my local hardware supplier, but all they've got are the lead and plastic anchors that are used for mounting screws in masonry.
Bonus points for anyone who can suggest a nailing method that does not require a compressor and air-powered equipment. Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
John
