FAQs
Do I still need to use nails or screws when installing plasterboard?
SabreFix WB stud adhesive must be used in conjunction with nails or screws. Do not apply adhesive around sheet edges, or under fasteners. Do not fix nails or screws closer than 200mm to adhesive.
How much working time do I have before fixing the sheets?
15-20 minutes. Do not fix more than one sheet at a time to avoid skinning of the adhesive, which may result in adhesion failure.
