    Plaster board adhesive will work fine on the lintels as it goes through the perforations and stick like the proverbiable to a blanket.

    I have self tapped ply to the underside of them too so i have something to fix blinds ir rails back into after the job is finished, the plasterbaord can then just be screwed into the ply
