    dot nd dabbing

    i personally would always leave a gap on the bottom of a plasterboard on the inside of external wall for the moisture to escape. i just wasnt sure if it was ok to board in a kitchen as there is a higher chance of moist air. or weather to just do a scratch coat to level wall out.
  20. G

    dot nd dabbing

    I had a discussion with a builder today he said that moisture build up behind the board could cause damp and that to be careful as its a kitchin with a lot of heat and cold air comin in, obviously u will leave a inch or so at bottom but what would u think is the best way to deal with it?
  21. G

    dot nd dabbing

    can u dot and dab and skim a external wall but inside the house. its in the kitchin on the ground floor. there is no damp at all . its a old house just very old horse hair plaster fell off wen the old kitchen was ripped out. or will it have to be bonded and skimmed? thanks lads
