It is quick-drying, helps erase nail-pops, and can eliminate the need for fasteners by up to 50%. Supplied in 25kg bags. Instructions for dot and dab plasterboard installation include marking the wall, cutting plasterboard, mixing adhesive to a thick consistency, applying adhesive in bands and dabs, positioning the board, and tapping it into place. Proper board selection (at least 12.5mm thick) and equipment are also discussed. The adhesive should be applied in dabs of a specific size and thickness, with a band around the perimeter and at skirting level. Each bag fixes approximately two boards and lasts for four months.

The primary benefit is a strong, reliable bond for a professional finish, eliminating weak points and helping to level uneven surfaces. However, remember to mix only what you need, as the adhesive sets relatively quickly.
