I am concerned about being able to clamp it up tight enough to get a
good bond...hoping for something a bit more gap filling..?

Still an aliphatic wood glue might be good, also a low foam polyurethane
type..

Is plugging and screwing not an option? If not a 'No More Nails' type of
adhesive will work if the plasterboard isn't painted etc. Bear in mind it
will make a mess of the board if you ever want/need to remove it!

Get some of those snail fixings; drill through the wood and the p/bd
(you need to have it supported or held in situ) remove wood and fit
fixing gently.

The screws that come with the fixings might be too short you can use
longer ones but they must be of the same gauge. Put an adhesive pava or
mastic on the timber and offer into position.

Insert screws and tighten. Do not overtighten or the snail fixings will
pull out.

There are any number of varieties of plasterboard fixings all more or
less the same general idea. These are the simplest.

Use a mastic adhesive if the timber is rough sawn, if it is a planed
edge, you can get away with pva. For the price of a mastic gun and a
tube of gripfill I'd use that. YMMV.

Watch out that you don't damage the backs of your handypops.

Possibly in one or two places...but I have NEVER found that to make a
secure joint sadly

Yes. I will try no more nails...I think

Can't get a drill there for most of the length sadly.

Its all behind a radiator, and I don't have time to drain down CH,
remove rad, do the job and put back...and its too frigging cold as well.

Don't forget the weakest bit will probably be the paper cover on the
plasterboard.
You don't need a glue any stronger than this.

If you want to be able to remove it easily then a double sided sticky foam
tape would be easy.

Plasterboard has been skimmed, but not painted.

I won't need any actual pull strength - just in shear - and the paper is
more than strong enough in that mode.

Ive had mixed results with 'no more nails' frankly.

CA (superglue) works if the gap is thin enough..

The message
from The Natural Philosopher contains these words:

good bond...hoping for something a bit more gap filling..?

I've glued shelves and things to the walls in this house for years.
No-more-nails type glue from Wilkinsons, slap the batten on and hold it
in place with gaffertape to stop it sliding down the wall overnight.
Best left to set for a day or two before relying on it.

On a more general note - if you get a big enough area of contact you can
get away with murder glueing stuff to walls. Even onto wallpaper, which
makes it much easier to remove later if you have to. Provided you trust
whoever did the papering!

For gluing surfaces that absorb water, I've found water based no-nails
to be far better than the organic solvent based variety. This is one of
my favourites:

Phew! Bit expensive innit? More than half the price of anything similar at
B&Q :-)

Have you tried the cheaper brands? They seem OK to me (though I tend to
use them by the bucketfull as filler as well as adhesive).

Yes, I bought some of screwfix own brand water based before, and it was
OK. It's been discontinued and replaced with:

http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...52142&id=29437

I tend to use water based for most things, switching to solvent based
only in situations where there's any chance of future moisture. The
water based ones skin much more slowly, and grab better.

You don't need to - just close the valves, slacken the valve-to-rad
couplings, tip the rad out and lie it down then retighten the couplings.

I hate that they are forever doing that with their glue/sealant/mastic

well with; go back to re-order and bang! it's gone.

The only time I have stuck wood to plaster board was as a base for a shower

I used tile cement about 24 years ago.
Its still stuck.

Thought there may be enough resin in the filler to soak into the
plaster.

Needs a bonding agent that soaks into the plaster and binds it
together. Try a of epoxy/araldite and warm the area with a heat
gun/hair dryer to help it soak in. Then when set use another coat on
the wood to glue in place.

If you can score the surface before applying anything that should
help.

cheers,
Pete.
