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

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.

Try your local independent BM.  A relationship can be good for you and them.

Insta does go off quickly!

 

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

Check the compatability. I found last week that soudal cleaner dissolves eps. 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.

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.
