Dot and dab drying time before skimming?

Hi all, I'm d dabbing my kitchen. How long do I have to wait fir the adesive until I can go on with my plaster?

Thanks ppl

Hour or so. As soon as the boards are solid.

Oh sweet. So if I throw them up Friday, they will be sound for Saturday.

Also, where they meet I scrim first, then joint compound?

If your using tapered edge boards yes, if square edge boards scrim joints & skim whole wall.
I take it your not a plasterer? :RpS_unsure:

Nope, but I'm loving the learning process lol!

Thanks for those pointers though. One more to annoy you with, what's good jointing compound and drywall adhesive to be getting? Any brands you guys stick to?

If you don't have a lot to do buy British gypsum premixed joint cement. You can use this for all stages.

Knauf bonding compound. And gyproc easifill.

Some recommend filling the joints with flexi tile adhesive to lessen chances of cracks,
