Hi
I've just partitioned a room with studwork and plasterboard which I've fixed with the proper screws but I'm after some guru knowledge on the best way to proceed with what I want next.
I now need to fill the gaps and cover the screw heads, is it best to use filler or caulk to do this? I'm just wondering if the screws would perhaps rust if I used filler as I do not intend to skim the plaster, merely perhaps cover it in watered down pva then wallpaper it.
It there a certain depth the screws should be driven into the plasterboard to ensure the covering filler sticks?
Would I also need to tape the joints? I did this about 10 years ago using a plasterboard tape with lots of square holes in it (apologies it probably has a name) and it just showed through everything as it was obviously sat on top of the finished later and the wall was not skimmed. It there a very thin tape I need to buy?
Kind regards
Neil
