Soudal Plasterboard Adhesive Foam

I did about 20 boards in my house with soudal gun grade. Following the instructions to the letter (wait exactly 3 minutes after applying foam etc). The foam continued to expand by a small amount for about 10 minutes, for some reason it was more around the mid height of the board - not much, but resulting in as much as a 5mm bulge in some boards. I suppose this is considered within tolerances but I wasn't impressed and as I skimmed it myself it made it extra hard to take this out - maybe a pro wouldn't notice? Having said that, the boards are rock solid and I like the idea of no moisture path/cold bridging across and would definitely use them again on any old solid walls.

Now you know that, you'll prob do what I do which is drill through and wack a screw and red plug in to keep in position...

Me neither. We had the same issues but with piping and cables behind. I'll only use it if I have to.

Not always possible to screw where you would like to. You will never get the accuracy or the predictability you can with dab.
