Liquid damp proof membrane and plasterboarding.

Sep 22, 2004 1 Replies

Hi



I've bought some wickes liquid damp proof membrane and wish to know if I can use it with plasterboard adhesive. The instructions say to put 2 coats on and before the second coat dries blind it with sharp sand then cover with wickes universal plaster. It advises not to use cement based plasters. I'm a klutz with the trowel and prefer boarding so my question is, after blinding the second coat would I be able to use plasterboard adhesive and just board up?? Thanks in advance of replies.

Well it will hold if that's the question. The sharp sand provides a good binding for the dry lining adhesive. But if you are having to use liquid DPC, can you guarantee no moisture will get to the plasterboard ?
