Plasterboard (moisture resistant) fixings

[markyyyyyy]

Hi all

Am fixing moisture resistant plasterboard to a bare red brick wall using dot and dab.

I then understand it is best advised to put mechanical fixings in to the adhesive once it had dried, is this correct? I am tiling on to the plasterboard.

Can anyone advise what mechanical fixing are best to use to go in to the adhesive? The board is 12.5mm thick

Thanks

I have done a lot of dot and dabbing over the years and have never used mechanical fixings. I put loads of adhesive on the boards and I haven't had any come backs yet....

Is that with tiling on the plasterboard aswell?

Yes I tiled my bathroom 16 years ago on top of dot and dab and they are still there,,,, You have to make sure that your walls are dry and no damp will penetrate it, so check your render and outside wall covering,,,
