How so Ali? Nailing is much faster IMO


Screwing is the prefered method because of less movement as Neal says. If you've had to repair as many skimmed walls as I have where the plaster has popped over the nail heads you'd agree Wilder

Nailing is hardly a bodge but screwing is much better

Screws tend to be used as they can b loaded in a machine and there is a lot of metal stud used these days and screws offer a more solid fixing than clouts. Not sure if ou can get a clout nail gun??

:lol::lol:

what is the correct method of dot n dab boarding onto plasterd wall... Currently in the process of doing me moms bathroom. Ive moved the bath over and there is a gap either end and a 12.5 mm board either end will sort all my problems... I plan to prime the plaster, board and then tile.... But can I use the adhesive I plan to use for the tiles or do I need drywall adhesive? and if my method is incorrect please let me know cheers.

To be fair Alan the important question was never asked and that is how he plans to get over the 12.5m lip he would create in the wall at either end of the bath after fixing plasterboard? Whacking great big tile trim? or now having to board out the rest of the walls to suit? and then possible issues with doors if on the same wall
