Quantities of Dry Wall Adhesive

[Georgie73]

Hi

I've got a plasterer in - the majority of the work is float and set but I've agreed to a few walls to be dot n dabbed.

The plasterer has done the first wall which is small - it literally took up two and a half full sized plasterboards. What has suprised me is the amount of adhesive used for this small area. Almost two bags of 25kg adhesive for one small wall seems a lot (it's certainly quite expensive at around £18 for one wall).

Is the plasterer using too much adhesive or is this about right?

Many thanks
George

How even are the walls? You should be able to get 2 sheets of board up with one bag, was there any wastage?

Right OK, that makes things about right. This particular wall was a strange feature wall - different depth bricks, fairly uneven, so I think that explains things.

Many thanks.
