Installing resin anchors for blockwork involves a few simple steps. First, drill a hole in the blockwork that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the anchor. Next, mix the resin according to the manufacturer's instructions and insert it into the hole. Finally, insert the anchor into the hole and tap it gently to ensure that it is fully seated. Allow the resin to cure completely before attaching the blockwork to the substrate.
