Tile backer board, which brand do you recommend?

Foam is able to stick studs to a wall but in this instance I was talking about a stud wall with the old plasterboard removed. The bare studs are then sprayed and then the new plasterboard is bonded on to them. Then screwed.

This is talking about bathroom walls which are rarely very big. If you have say a 6 metre long wall that needs making true then I’d look into other ways of getting it flat and Plumb. That’s another thread 🙂

This is a curiosity question but what’s the benefit of using the foam on studs if you are screwing anyway?

As a guess is it easier to get level?

Plumb and flat

Just screwing straight to existing studs will usually mean a bed of adhesive I’m not comfortable with.

I tried the foam, couldn’t get on with it.

Instastik I use. Wear gloves !

Foam takes some practice. Once you get used to using it and the little tips you pick up, it’s really good. I though it was a nightmare the first couple of uses but I’m a convert now. It replaces gripfill too.

Which do you use?

Same as you- Dow
