hi there,fellow plasterers,just like to add to what mike said about dabbing plasterboard to to brick walls,he is bang on and it is an excellent way to get an exceptionally flat wall ready for your finish to go onto,just mix up a large tub of drywall adhesive, dab this stuff on the back of youre plasterboard all over in evenly placed blobs, especially near edges,then bang it on the wall,to get a nice even spread i use a large piece of 3×2 timber to bang it out level useing large level to check level across and top to bottom,once youve put one piece up and got it spot on,the rest fly up,youll be amazed at the finished result,nice one mike , youre spot on,cheers,mister ja,bolton ,lancs
