dot and dab question

[messy]

Hi
I have never done dot and dab before,
Is this what you use for dot and dab:
25KG GTEC UNIVERSAL BONDING COMPOUND LAFARGE
How many sheets of board can you stick from one bag?

 

[Rhys]

We use Gyproc dry-wall adhesive and as for how many boards you can stick, it all depends on the wall whether its straight or not.

 

[beddy]

2-3 boards per bag if used correctly.

 

[beddy]

8x4s that is

 

[DannyMac]

10 boards easy, a dot in each corner and one in the middle.

Bit of overkill there danny, one in the middle should hold it perfectly.

Hi
Thanks for the replies.
Gyproc and 1 bag per 3 off 8'x4' board approx - cheers

Just make sure you get plenty down the edges as you don't want the board flapping.

 

[beddy]

Buy am extra bag to be sure

Same as rhys said, i was dabbing all day today on walls that ran out of level by 4inch in a 8ft high room. I was using 2 bags for 3 boards. Glad i didnt supply the gear prices are a joke these days.
