Arnold9801 Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago I have a lot of insulated plasterboards to fix to external concrete block walls. I've previously used Insta stick, but it's quite expensive anc I need approx 30 cans. Can anyone recommend a good alternative that's cheaper? Thank you Arnold9801
Beau Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago I've been pleased with this which has bonded insulated plasterboard to some dodgy old lime plastered walls successfully. Cheapest I found was an ebay seller which worked out around £6.50 a can https://www.soudal.co.uk/diy/products/adhesives/foam-adhesives/soudabond-plasterboard-gun
Arnold9801 Posted 14 hours ago Author Posted 14 hours ago I've been looking at Soudabond, but being so cheap I was concerned about its reliability. Thank you for replying.
Super_Paulie Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago I used Soudabond for my whole place. Only difference from Insta seems to be it takes longer to "skin over". I used Insta when I couldn't get my usual stuff and was caught out as I left it 5 minutes like the souda and it had almost gone off.

Were you happy with soudabond and how long was it's setting time?

Also that using soudal foam against eps, it appeared to shrink overnight so I'm thinking the eps may have been absorbing solvent and shrinking.

Were you happy with soudabond and how long was it's setting time? i leave it maybe 4 or 5 minutes before pushing to wall. Needs bracing until it goes off, i tend it leave it braced for as long as possible, 30 minutes or more, sometimes with a mechanical fix as well. With Insta i found that it went solid a lot quicker as well. I mean im as happy as i can be in that the boards are still attached to the walls... Id use Insta over the Soudabond if it wasnt so pricey.
