Sticking beads to plasterboard with grab adhesive....

[morrik27]

Are there any particular types of grab adhesive - brands, reccomendations, solvent free etc to stick skim beads direct to plasterboard?

what do most people use?

I just use a bit of mixed plaster and leave it to go off a bit before skimming.

Plasterboard adhesive is best, it doesn't crack like plaster does. Wickes own brand is best I've ever used. Makes great filler too.

My answer is the same as before!

I sometimes use coving adhesive in a tube. Works for me!

Board adhesive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why no me think of that?!?!?! total eureka moment!! would likely be easier to work with as well.
