FAQs

How much adhesive do I need?

The amount of adhesive needed will depend on the size of the plasterboards and the application method. The bag provides 8.7L, which should be sufficient for a typical project. Be sure to check the manufacturer's recommendations for the correct amount for your project.

Can I use this adhesive on different wall types?

No, this adhesive is specifically designed for bonding plasterboards to masonry walls using the dot and dab method.

What is the shelf life of the adhesive?

The shelf life of the adhesive will be indicated on the packaging. Store the adhesive in a cool, dry place to maximize its shelf life.

How do I mix the adhesive?

Follow the instructions on the bag. Typically, this involves slowly adding water to the powder while mixing until a smooth, lump-free paste is achieved.

How long does the adhesive take to dry?

Drying time depends on environmental conditions. Check the product instructions for the recommended curing time.

What should I do if the adhesive gets on my skin?

Wash the affected area with water immediately. If irritation persists, consult a doctor.

Can I use this adhesive with moisture-resistant plasterboard?

Yes, provided the wall is masonry and the dot and dab method is used. Always check compatibility with your chosen plasterboard type.

Troubleshooting

Plasterboard not adhering to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is clean and prepared correctly. Check that the adhesive was mixed to the correct consistency and applied in the appropriate amount. The plasterboard may not be pressed firmly enough against the wall. Make sure the adhesive is within its use-by date.

Adhesive drying too quickly.

Make sure you’re applying the adhesive in an appropriate temperature range and mixing the product correctly. If it’s very warm, work in smaller areas or consider a slower-setting adhesive if available.

Uneven plasterboard surface.

Ensure the plasterboard is level during the installation. Use a spirit level to check. Adjust the position of the plasterboard while the adhesive is still wet.

Adhesive not setting properly.

Ensure the product is within its use-by date, that the product was mixed correctly, and that the ambient conditions (temperature and humidity) were suitable. In addition, allow sufficient time for curing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Ensure the masonry wall is clean, dry, and free of dust, loose particles, and any previous coatings that could affect adhesion.
  2. Mixing: Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the bag to mix the adhesive to the correct consistency. Typically, this involves slowly adding water while mixing until a smooth, lump-free paste is achieved.
  3. Application: Use the dot and dab method, applying evenly spaced dabs of adhesive to the wall or the back of the plasterboard. The number and size of dabs will depend on the size of the plasterboard. Consider checking the manufacturer's recommendations.
  4. Placement: Immediately press the plasterboard firmly against the wall, ensuring it's level. Use a spirit level to check.
  5. Curing: Allow the adhesive to cure completely. The curing time will vary depending on environmental conditions (temperature and humidity), so consult the product instructions.

Compatibility

Volden Plasterboard Adhesive is specifically designed for use with plasterboards and masonry walls. It is *not* suitable for use with other types of boards or wall surfaces. Always check the product label for specific compatibility details.

Care

  • Storage: Store the bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Seal the bag properly after use to prevent the adhesive from hardening.
  • Clean Up: Clean tools and any spills immediately with water before the adhesive sets. Once the adhesive has dried, it may be difficult to remove.
