I need to replace the ancient battens in a concrete recess in my ceiling (the water mains run through it). It's only 12 inches wide by 6 foot long and I'm going to cover the recess with 1/2inch plasterboard. I'm then going to plaster over it for a smooth finish prior to painting.
Can anyone recommend a suitable glue for the 2 by 1 wooden battens I'm gonna use cos although I'd prefer to screw the battens into the concrete, it's too awkward to get a masonry drill into the recess because the pipes are in the way.
Is it even ok to do this ? I mean, there's not gonna be any weight suspended from this particular section of the ceiling.
