No room for a batten

[adri]

Hi.

I'm working on a limestone wall and it's not straight. I've got from one end of the room to the other corner using 2x1 battens but in the final corner if I want to keep my boarding straight there's no room for a batten as the wall bulges inwards. I don't want to buy a 25kg bag of dot and dab adhesive for one edge of a board. Is there another way of attaching this final board that can be relied on?

TIA

Adri

a bag of dab is only £7-£8 marra

 

[malc]

i would go and purchase a bag of dry wall adhesive. if it is very thin you could use dabs of no nails. but why spoil a job for a few quid?

 

[Ashleyscoob]

Buy 10kg bag then from a DIY shop then but will cost more than a 25 kg from merchants or try blue tack

Do you use each teabag 3 times due to you being unbelievably tight?

I've got a half bag of dab addy in the van, I'll give you it for nowt if you want to pick it up.... I live in Inverness:RpS_wink: feck payin £8 for a bag! Just to do a job:RpS_scared::RpS_lol:

Just use board spacers mate, job done :RpS_thumbup:

 

[Fatarm]

Do you have any blue tack lying about? Must have some surely? Crimbo an all that:RpS_wink:

 

[Arti]

glue them with PVA............:RpS_thumbup:

 

[Nisus]

If the gaps thinner than a battern just use gripfill & board offcuts to pack out :RpS_wink:
You'll need 3 tubes @ £2 each =£6 :-0
or...just buy a bag of dab I get mine for a fiver a bag FFS :huh:

FFS I pay £3.99 for G-Tec Drywall adhesive. Don't be such a tight wad. Do the job and collect your cash.

There was no room for Mary & Joseph at the inn but it didn't stop them having Jesus.

You've got the wrong thread marra, this isn't the 5 words only thread :rolleyes)

 

[Mickyboy]

Try some flour and water works great for paper mashy

 

[Arti]

you could try this but if you cant afford dab then this could be out of reach marra

 

[barryed]

Wrigleys double mint might be a viable option

Blue Peter special, double sided sticky tape :RpS_thumbup:
