20mm brick slips on 12mm ply
hi all, Looking for some advice. Tiling 20mm thick brick slips onto 12mm ply wood on the walls. It is fixed very well. I am just wondering what prep people would do and what adhesive you would use. Changing the ply for plasterboard or hardi is not a option.- Jamorgan90

How to screw a plasterboard to a brick wall?
Hi. I have some plasterboards stuck to the wall. Pretty solid. However, I need to just add maybe 4-6 screws each board into the wall to further secure. How best do I do this? I tried a drill and screw with plug but no good. Do I need a special type of plug or screw? Thanks- Will Blackburn
