i dont mean length or height i mean the depth if you put in on a wall how far out will it come

 

[jbonding]

6mm,9.5mm,12.5mm,15mm and maybe bigger if you double them up

9.5 & 12.5mm thick are most common but i believe you can also get 15mm and 19mm special orders. Running 2 layers of 12.5mm thick plasterboard isn't uncommon.
What thickness do you need? and where is it going?

 

[philipcooper]

if you double them up do you have to put first one on wall wait till it drys then put other on on top or is there a easier alternative

It might be easier if you explain why thickness is an issue

 

[philipcooper]

because i have a gap behind my worktops and the units are touching on the bootom and not the top i dont want to un fit the kitchen and cut them and refit so i am goin for this option

Have you fixed the wall units aswell?you dont have to wait for the first skin to set you can dab straight on top. You might be better building up with strips of board rather than wasting any. Cut your boards first for where your gonna dab then what bits are left over use them for building up
