Just about to start plaster boarding my new stud wall. I have the non
tapered edge plasterboard. Do I just butt the sheets up against each
other and scrim tape over the joints in preperation for skimming?

I've often wondered what exactly the term 'dry lining' means, Do you fix
the plasterboard then skim over with a thin coat of plaster or just fix and
fill screw holes/gaps etc?
