Re: how many boards on  average to a bag?

Its supposed to be 10m2 per bag

Original post was about D n D ing boards per bag not skim rate per bag. BTW I have managed 4 boards easily when walls are flat and plumb, just tapped them well up.

I too have always gone on 3 boards per bag but if the walls are pretty good you some times get a bit more :)

It actually states ont back of Gyproc dri-wall adhesive that one bag will fix two 2400 x 1200 boards.

I've got to admit i've only ever got 2 boards out a bag the dabs are supposed to be every 400 i've seen site agents tapping boards and having them off again if there's not enough dab behind them

Probably if you use a continuous fillet of stuff round the perimeter, solid dabs for the curtain track and solid dabs for the skirting and solid dabs round the sockets then yeah 2 boards but i doubt any of us do it like that, the general thread on here is 3 boards,
right or wrong?? hence the reason i work off 10m per bag for measuring.
