What adhesive for large splashback ply panels??

[r896neo]

I am fixing 8x4 sheets of formica faced ply to an industrial kitchen wall to replace awful tiling. It has little extrusions to locate in at the edges but i want to glue it too. Any high grab adhesive will probably do but i would prefer a recommendation of something that is maybe mould/ waterproof if anyone has experience doing this?

Cheers.

Hi

Take a look at this method of fixing you wall panels and I have included a drawing which you can view by using the link at the bottom. Its the method I use with all my projects.

Soft wood hook battens to be constructed from 145 x 20 par cut down the length with a 45 deg cut thus producing a male and female hook batten.

 The first batten (male) is fixed to the top of the wall panel and one 200mm up from the bottom. For 2400 x 1200 wall panels a further three will need to be fixed at equal centres.

 Find the highest point of the floor and make the top of the wall board plus 10mm on the wall and level all round the wall.


 Fix the top female batten. Hang the wall board on the wall and mark for the other female battens. Remove the wall board and fix the remaining female battens.

thanks for your reply but i am looking for an adhesive as they will be going straight onto plaster and not on batens. cheers

Hi

That’s fine it just an idea as you can take out all the undulations in the wall and hang the panel plum and level. Which you can not do very easily with wall panel adhesive. Plus you will after wait for it to set. But check out this site.
