Hi Kilty keep your fingers crossed, get him to sign a waiver that he supplied the mats and insisted on their use and await the recall. You are the pro - insist on using the correct materials in future frogeye - the happy gardener | ||||||||||

Afraid so kilty, there is a chance that the unprimed plasterboard will have soaked the moisture out of the adhesive too quickly and could cause you some problems. | ||||||||||
