John is like the Swiss Army knife of the building world!!
Rodian will be pleased with that 👍🏼
Corefix plugs with the steel inserts prevent the board crushing back when you tighten up a rad bracket but plenty of mix in the radiator area is always appreciated. 👌👍
100% on corefix. works on old Victorian lathe and plaster external walls too.
Like the line on the floor tip 👌🏼.
A great way to plumb up brickies wonky walls 😉🧱👍🏽
John you make everything look so easy nice job mate🏴👍
Thanks Yorwerth! 👍
Quality tradesman
Many thanks for watching Lee! Have an awesome week 🙌
Anything you can't do? Great job/explanation + so tidy. Keep up the great work. Have a good weekend
Top job John 👏
Didn't you do this two years back? Good teaching video John, thanks😁
Nice job John. What's the knack to making sure you cut the cutouts for the backboxes in the right place on the board? I always seem to have a nightmare measuring, guessing, more measuring then having to fettle the board.
Place the board before dabs and bang it will get indent in back correct position
@@georgelfc1 Aha! Thanks!
Rub a bit of chalk around edge of back box, offer up the board and push against the boxes....chalk will mark the plasterboard.
Does hardwall hold onto thermalite block? My thermalite block has been primed with blue grit but I’m wondering if dot and dab would have been better
Great channel, loads of great advice.
Was just wondering, in this video are you dotting and dabbing moisture resistant plasterboard? I've read in the instructions for drywall adhesive that it shouldn't be used with moisture resistant plasterboard, but is it actually OK to do so? Cheers mate.
Hi there.
This video was shot with British Gypsum technical department on site. It is perfectly acceptable to use the products shown in this video, together.
Maybe it was a different brand of adhesive which you'd read?
I hope this helps?
All the best, John 👷🏻♂️
@@BuildWithAE That's what I thought, John. Thanks for the reply. So it was definitely the moisture resistant boards you were using here?
NICE ONE👍
If you have a v.uneven or out of plumb wall, what's the max thickness of dab you can use without risking too much shrinkage as it dries?
About 25mm , But I have stuck cuttings of plasterboard to bring a belly out and then once dried re dabbed with a full sheet over it if you are in a bad spot.
@@chriskane9230 - That's a good idea! Thanks.
Excelente video 👍 👏 👌🏻
How far from the wall would the chalk line be?
What is the benefit over plastering the wall? Never seen this method in the Netherland. Great video
It's a very widely used method in the UK. It's a much quicker and more cost effective way of preparing the wall for finishing.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 👷🏻♂️
Nice video. +++ However I would like to know how do you fix the plaster board around the window and metal lintels. Can you use Dab on the metal lintel and the plastic insulation infill between the walls around windows and doors? Or do we have additonally use some metal screws to fix the plaster board? Thanks
You can dab onto cavity closers, best if you have good amount of block also. The lintel usually have a key to take DD.
Would it be better to batten the wall and then app!y slabs as aposed to dot n dab. Just curious . Why I ask is I was talking to a build who has a son who's an architect and he said that dot n dab creates moisture behind the slab? I've no idea just asking.. cheers.great video by the way , u make it look so easy.
Never had that problem. I am sure other factors would be needed enable that situation.
Why is he doing a 10mm fillet along the top but 25mm elsewhere? Doesn’t that make the board out of level with thicker fillets in places?
The 25mm dabs have more room to move into as surrounded by void. The perimeter dabs have less space to move into and squash down as they will hit up against the sides.
You make it look so easy John! :) Looking to do the same in my garage instead the button method. You said it needs to be sealed from the weather. Do you think will be an issue if I do D&D on a single skin brick wall such as a garage? Also do I need to use sealer on the brick before hand? Thanks.
I'd use moisture resistant board on a single skin wall.
@@crisfiler6128 roger that, is that with D&D fix to the wall or with buttons?
Protected from the weather refers to the fact that it should be inside and openings such as windows, should be installed prior to installation.
To be safe I would recommend battening the wall with a damp proof membrane behind the battens, to prevent any moisture or damp coming through the board.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 👷🏻♂️
@@BuildWithAE Enormous help John and makes perfect sense. Many thanks for replying. Battening it is then :)
you must be good friends with the sparky....
If each trade looks after the next, we all have an easier life 😀
All the best, John 👷🏻♂️
Is this rodians house??
👍🏻👍🏻
😊👍
What is the dimensions when putting the mark on the floor?
Roughly 30mm
@@chriskane9230 thanks Chris.
can i dot and dab the board? instead of the wall. has anyone tried that method?
Just out of curiosity, why would you rather dab the board than the wall?
The board becomes heavy and it snaps under the weight of it.
Sometimes easier to do the board on small pieces and top reveal. Otherwise just dab the wall and get on with life.
Why dont you guys just fur out the walls?
Why can't you just plaster straight onto the concrete blocks....??? Instead of the hastle of plaster boarding with dabs. And then plastering.
You would see all the blocks through a skim. You could first float the walls with cement render or hardwall etc. DD is actually cheap, practical and effective.
I hope British Gypsum are paying you well...
great video, you make it look so easy .... but its not lol
Haha thanks Antony! Have an awesome day 😊👍
Are you still doing @rodianbuilds house?
Slow... You are definitely not a price job😃
