15mm plasterboard .

Anyone ever dabbed walls using 15 mm instead of 12.5 . ?If so are they better or not much difference

Why is that funny?

I thought it was a trick question

Heavier to use, but if the wall is out of level, 15mm are really good for straightening - they don't twist easy.

Some builders have the party walls done in 15mm board.

15mm boards are lovely to stick as long as they have been stored correctly ie flat. I suppose its a slightly better job but be aware that door linings and window boards may need to deeper than usual.

I fit screws to wall so the heads are all lined up level. Use straight edge. Line. Bubble Level. Screw in / out to get it correct then dot and dab to screw heads.. Works for me.. Just a bit of messing setting up

I take it you've never dot and dabbed on price

Not really. Used to do bathrooms and the walls had to be spot on for tiling. Private jobs. I used to use 12.5mm board and used the screw trick. Also works on over boarding to level out,plus I dot and dab to pack gap between ceiling and board.

Here's one ceiling I had to level out. I had to get it spot on.. Then skim..

Would bonding not do the job ?

Tuff one to level out with bonding I thought, plus bad cracks going right across. One joist moved when stood on from above to so I packed out with plastic packers on wall edge. Right job to sort! Done a few over the years though.
