Perhaps a hybrid system would work with boards attached to the battens
with adhesive and with battens along the floor well sealed to the wall
with mastic ?



Why do you have this maina for fixing the boards with adhesive - whats
wrong
with plasterboard nails through the boards into the battens?



I'm trying to avoid paying a plasterer to skim the boards afterwards -
hoping to use taper-edge boards and special filler.

If I could have used "dabs" it would have been a 10 minute job :-)
