Floating shelf frame, again

Submitted by solomonson on Wed, 01/05/2011 - 17:09

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but here goes.  This is probably common (or maybe not, in which case, sucks to be me) and I couldn't find anything here addressing this.  I'm trying to hang the frame, 4', and have found that my wall isn't flat.  I saw behind the right most screw when it was all the way in the frame against the wall a good 1/8 - 1/4" of an inch of space between the frame and wall!  Would some shims solve this, or is hanging shelves on this wall a lost cause?
