'Sticking' plasterboard to stud (DIY solution)?

[simondyntDBeK]

Hi,

I've cut some holes in plasterboard on a stud wall to gain access behind and and now need to 'stick' them back to the stud before making good - can anyone recommend a DIY product that will do the job?

Cheers!

Just fit some battens around the opening and screw it to that.

We now use Bear Claw Drywall Repair Clips.
Google them, or see demonstration on U Tube.

Hi oldun

Love the idea of the bear clips - looks so easy - but surely they'll show up when painted over?

I would imagine that they are designed to be skimmed over, and would therefore not show as they are under the finish plaster.
