When i said i would go with this i meant i will go with what you say, i was unsure, which is why i asked in the first place. Will the pink stuff dry rock-solid? also does it come in powder form as i am a little wary of using stuff out of a tube? Also do i use it as if dotting and dabbing...

Thanks, i think i will go for this. Will i need to use the pink stuff as if i am 'dotting and dabbing'? ie, big, fat dollops spaced apart so that when the boards are screwed into the studs they are flat and more importantly solid with the beams? Lastly does this stuff dry solid? Thanks...

I know its probably not ideal but 85% of the boards will be secured to the studs, with the adhesive only being used for the small section at the top, so the strength will come from the screws.

Great idea! thanks, will the adhesive definitely adhere to the beam? as i was told not to plaster onto wood? i understand they are different but am just wanting to confirm that it will.

Hi all, i am currently dry-walling a stud wall, the studs are all fine but running along the top of the studs is a horizontal supporting beam, which lips over the studs by about 15mm, my Dad (a builder) said to cut strips of drywall and screw to the studs to act as spacers, i have done this but...
