Default Adhesive over pipe

Hi

Can I use plasterboard adhesive over copper pipes to cover them with plasterboard (dot n dab) after boiler relocation?


Depends a bit on exactly where you are putting the adhesive. If its
mainly glueing plasterboard to the surrounding plaster etc, then it
should be fine. If you are gluing it just to the pipes themselves, then
chances are it will break free of the pipe due to the expansion of it.
Wrapping some insulation round the pipes before burial in plaster, or
placing them under capping will usually save any problems since it lets
them move a little even when covered up.
