Tip off a tiler today on cutting and dabbing cement based boards for showers/wet areas.
Use an angle grinder to cut them - no point blunting down your stanley. Use a moist sponge to run down with the angle grinder to cut down on the dust. You'll get it cut in seconds.
Dot and dab the boards straight onto brickwork if they need to be flush with the existing wall say for a shower enclosure. Don't use dry wall adhesive, use rapid set flexible cement based floor tile adhesive. It's a bit tricky to level out cos it's really thick and flexible - the excess doesn't push out like creamy board adhesive but it'll stay up there guaranteed. Mix it up thick though.
