So as I suggested and how @crispy_wafer did it. Good to know! 20 minutes ago, nod said: When using mf Don’t forget to buy a couple of welding clamps Clamp all metal to metal I’ve just been using normal grip clamps which seem to do the job. But I’ll see if Screwfix have any of those you suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfun Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Oh. One more question please @nod the BG video says to use jack-point wafer head screws but I’ve only got drywall wafer head screws. these are the screws I have. Are they ok to use? or do I need the jack-point screws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfun Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Don’t worry. Ordered jack-point screws and welding clamps from Amazon for delivery tomorrow by 1pm. Gives me time to walk the dog and do a bit of plumbing before they arrive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are Metal to metal Though you might have to use a few wafer self tappers in the primary Which is ok as you can put a wafer point in alongside once everything is in place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorfun Posted 12 hours ago Author Share Posted 12 hours ago made a start on this. there are, inevitably, gaps between the plasterboards. is there any point filling these with acoustic sealant when the second layer of boards below are going to be staggered? if so do I just squeeze on a bead and press it in with a filler knife? or is there something special that needs to be done.

I’d say no which means everyone else will say yes . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveasteading Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Seriously now, as @Pocster would expect. I asked a Fire Professor how vulnerable the gaps were in single skin boarding, and he said that fire does not get through there, even if unfilled. * Sound is different, obviously, but usually less dangerous. You could even argue that the resulting tiny gap acts as a sound absorbing resonating tube. Just sheet over it. At the perimeter though, fill any gap, as you have both sheets with gaps coinciding. *There were other reasons, now I think more, but this will justify it if you are questioned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
