Can I use plasterboard adhesive over copper pipes to cover them with plasterboard (dot n dab) after boiler relocation? Unlikely, the plaster will crack due to movement of the pipes - expansion and contraction as they heat and cool. |

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. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Probably room to screw a batten behind the old plasterboard and to screw a new piece of plasterboard into the void using the battens for fixing Similar to https://youtu.be/H9ezRSoZ8GE?t=228 -- mailto: news {at} admac {dot] myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

Adhesive over pipe
Thank you for help guys, seems like battens is way to go.
However I came across PU Plasterboard adhesive foam like Everbouild pink grip or Soudal and accordiong to their Tech Support it can be used in this case.Wont affect the pipe and can stand temperature up to 80 C. I just wonder if anyone have experience with this kind of product ? |

You may be able to do a patch supported by battens: http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/...g_plasterboard Or failing that, just pack some insulation material over the pipes and then fill with bonding plaster to just below the finished surface. Let that go off a bit, then fill flush with a light weight filler, or board fill compound. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

I just wonder if anyone have experience with this kind of product ? No experience with the product but if you go down that route perhaps temporarily screw some scrap pieces of wood to the front of the plasterboard patch that overlap the width of the patch so that you cannot push the patch in beyond the surface of the existing plasterboard. While the foam is setting perhaps screw these scrap pieces of wood to the existing wall so the patch doesn't move. Consider also that a long run of pipe may/will move when constantly cycling between cold and hot and maybe cause on medium to long term mechanical failure of the bond. -- mailto: news {at} admac {dot] myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |
