Tile adhesive

would it be safe to use dot and dab and screws ?

 

[Nisus]

I use cove adhesive & screws, but dab adhesive will do or even easifill, or tile adhesive :RpS_biggrin:

Dri wall addy, smear on each, quick twist. Couple of screws for belt n braces. Have used artex before, worked ok.

I always use screws and tile adhesive, and if the centre is particulary heavy or large you can normally find at least one ceiling joist for a decent fixing.

If you use cove or dri wall it pays to seal the back of centre with diluted pva first
