Why would you put plasterboard on bonding?

plasterers often dot n dab with bonding.

With a back ground as a plasterer I would'nt entertain it personally....

I prefer the plasterboard adhesive personally too. You can definitely tell the difference when ripping out. The adhesive generally takes the block work with it lol!

When we 1st started drylining,about 88, we used bonding , not sure why,possibly cheaper my boss was a yorkshireman, tight git.
But i agree with a post you made before, it is no where near as sticky as it used to be.

Plasterer by trade and i do this. Never once has it failed and i even done it on a few reveales in my own house i built 10 years ago and not one of them came loose. Its common practice for plasterers to put plasterbaord on with bonding, well it is anyway here in cork in ireland. Also worked on plenty jobs throughout the country and even foremen told us to do it. There is many ways to skim a cat

Agree that plasterbord adhesive is better but you can get away with using bonding.

I can not understand the comparison here.... Bonding works, and plasterboard adhesive works.... Why therefore is plasteboard adhesive better?? They both work...

YEs but when taking them off, one is more difficult. If i where doing the job, i would just use bonding unless someone already bought the board adhesive.

bonding is a soft plaster undercoat draws water in like a sponge porc adhesive is cement based so when you stick to bonding you have a weak holding substrate .now when you fix porcs to this with a cement based adhesive you are putting tougher a weak holding surface any movement and it will fail if the water gets under the silcone it will draw it in like a sponge you may get away with light ceramic tiles but heavy porcs the bonding wont hold the weight
