Have to say I'm not a fan of dry lining unless it must be done and always prefer wet plaster.

However, I had no choice recently but to use plasterboard and thought I'd give plasterboard adhesive a try - normally I'm a batten and screw/nail man.

Have to say, pleasantly suprised! It worked a treat, took a couple of hours for a 10m2 stretch and apart from a few foot prints throughout the house, an excellent alternative.

Just thought I'd share that one

Just pull the foil off where you put the dollops of gloup.

Or using blobs of expanding foam instead, that will stick to the foil.

That really depends on the foam. B&Q's economy foam (or whatever it's
called) doesn't seem to stick to anything :-(

The toolstation one seems pretty good (slight green colour to it), not
too expensive either...

It wont hold the weight of a plaster board though. Plus it will err,
expand and push the carafully positioned boards all over the shop.
