The answer to the question is yes you can use rapid to dot and dab boards if primed, boards and plaster...I would do this with the regular tilers stuff on the van, drywall adhesive isn't usually one of them...using drywall adhesive needs no primer at all...

I went to bed last night hoping that when I got up this thread would have gone and it was all just a bad dream. But it is still hear!
Now hare is my problem since joining this forum I have come to respect the opinions of certain forum members, as on the posts that I have read they are giving good sound advice but on this issue I am very disappointed.
It was late and you’d had a long day but pleas tell me you are not seriously saying it is ok to dot and dab plasterboard on to a plastered wall with just a bit of rapid set and a lick of primer.
This makes a mockery of the fixing guidelines not to mention the weight issue. And it is not just this one thread it has been said a number of times by several different members.
On the record I disagree with you all. Thin set rapid set adhesive is not suitable for dabbing plasterboard and if you are dabbing on to skimmed walls use board adhesive and mechanically fix as well.
