Hi,

Do Wickes sell and decent PB adhiesive or will I have to wait till Monday til the builders merchants opens?

The reason I ask is I bought a bag of adhiesive from one merchants once and it was rubbish! It was like using porriage to stick the boards up.

What make should I be getting? Is it sold at good old Wickes?

Cheers

It's supposed to be a bit like porridge actually. Though without the lumps of course. And a lumpy mix probably indicates a poor mixing technique.
If Wickes sell it, you can bet it almost certainly will do the job.
I've been using some Lafarge stuff recently - great stuff. Amazing properties!
 
I've used the wickes one and didn't have any trouble with it.

Pros on here may be able to offer a comparison vs British Gypsum etc.

When I did my course (going back to Aug 08 ), I was told that the Knauf one was preferred, as the recent batches of the BG one were smelling of cat pee! :eek:

Not sure if there was any truth in this rumour ???

Yes, that's the one I used.

It's strange, because Wickes offer Multi-finish, Bonding etc by BG, but not the p/board adhesive. They only stocked their own brand.

Maybe my local one only has limited lines.
 
BQ (warehouses anyway) sell plasterboard adhesive too. Wickes one works fine - never had a problem with it.
 
The Wickes stuff is by far the best I've ever used. I use it for general filling and scrim taping too. Great stuff.

I agree. Had a bag open since March. Use some, then wrap over top straight away after. Bin liner over the top for good measure.
Used a bit the other day and still going well.

Though don't think I would try the same with Multi-finish! ;)
 
lafarge bonding compound is the best .dont mix it 2 runny.mabye thats where u went wrong
