It probably does. I hesitate to mention some of the methods I've seen used "to keep cable to wall for plastering"

Kind Regards, John

Or Put some plaster/filler between the screws, wait until dry, then remove the screws.

Had the method used been bent nails, where would one buy them?

I have and I do.

Using washers and screws as 'cable clips' is not a particularly brilliant idea in the first place (although I suppose there's nothing particularly wrong with it simply as a means of holding the cables in place during plastering), but using washers of a non-ideal material and then painting them to mitigate that deficiency seems like an even less brilliant idea. If one wants to use washers, then, as I said, stainless steel (or nylon) ones would seem much more sensible - and the screw obviously also needs to be fairly corrosion-resistant.

'Bonding' particularly good for that, preceded by PVA if required.

Indeed - that's what I often do.

Honestly can't work that out myself.

if your wall is that damp to make metal in the wall rust, it would be better to solve that problem first. In chronically damp walls, even metal back boxes will rust away completely after a while.
Once the cables are plastered into the wall the regs will be happy.
