Hello,

I'm wanting to follow some advice given on here (huge thank you to JohnD!) to fill in some deep gaps/holes on a Thermalite wall with a sand and cement mix. After I've filled in the holes, I intend to dot and dab plasterboard across the wall and then skim over it with plaster. Please could someone advise me on how long it will take (roughly) for the sand and cement to be dry enough for me to plasterboard over it? I'm wanting to dot and dab rather than just use sand and cement because they're external walls and I like the idea of the insulation that plasterboard provides ☺️ Any help would be greatly appreciated!
