A question for @BritishGypsum (have I spelt that right) several times over the past few months we've had your plasterboard and it's been very brittle and bendy. The board has a pink tinge to it . I've recorded the batch numbers and supplier details. It is a nightmare to overboard ceilings and dabbing it is tricky. It's like handling damp 9.5mm board. These photos don't do it justice. Anyone else had this problem?

Yes everytime, I've been asking my suppliers to send Knauf boards out along with Knauf adhesive as BG's won't mix properly.
 
Yes!! I Hate BG boards mate, and their drywall adhesive is even worse! Proper shite at the minute. Prefer gtec (siniat) stuff any day! Boards and adhesive.
 
Yes,I have posted a picture on here before, can't remember the thread, but the difference is like day and night. The blue board was pink inside and definitively recycled plaster. Not as hard as the other, very soft and cutting it is s**t.
 
Knauf boards and adhesive are awesome compared to BG..

So much so that I won't buy anything else...knaufs 9.5mm boards are twice as firm as BG 12.5mm

Stop moaning :rolleyes::whistle:
 
I've had these boards since well before Christmas they are horrible to get a nice sharp cut. They are so soft it's really easy to put the screws too far in
