Default Aquapanel

Looking at previous posts on this, it seems reasonable stuff for

shower/bath
side walls.

I have upstairs walls of very dubious construction - made in panels approx
3" outside width comprising 2 sheets 10mm plasterboard and egg crating

style
cardboard reinforcement between. I think that these are probably more
suited for office partitions than bedroom walls.

Anyway, the question is relating to bathroom wall which is out of square

and
which I intend to back the bath up to.
I need to lose a 12mm difference across the width of the bath and wonder

if
this aquapanel stuff is suitable.
I would pack one side of the 900mm width with a baton, but intend to glue
the panel to the existing (reasonably solid) plasterboard behind.
Due to the wall construction, I am reluctant to cut the bath edge into the
wall.

Has anyone tried dot and dab fixing this board rather than using aquapanel
fixing screws?

TIA

Phil

I have not used the Aquapanel brand but similar type boards and never used
anything other than Gripfil or Pinkgrip to secure it to the wall. The whole
effect I wanted was not to have screws.

I don't know how much success you will have using proper dot-and-dab
adhesive but if Gripfil will give you sufficient *make up* then just run it
in a zig zag across the whole area of the back of the board.

Hope that helps.
Rob
