Putting up plasterboard

[alib103]

Hi everyone. Done a few jobs now but got one coming up on friday where i need to put plasterboard up for the first time. Its a kitchen splashback and one wasll has a lower section which comes out just over 1 cm, was going tio stck plasterboard over top half to level out. The walls are solid.
Can i just dot and dab it on, if so how, normal tile addy? Or should i screw it into the wall?

Don't know what you are sticking it on to but rapid set should be fine. The plasterers on here may say otherwise though!

I like my dry wall adhesive but allways have some handy

I've used both dry wall adhesive and tile adhesive in the past - if its only a smallish area rapidset should be fine, but for full size boards 6'x3' or 8'x4' i'd use plasterboard adhesive and dot and dab. Screwing a piece over the top will probably bend to the uneven shape thats already there.

I've always used dry wall adhesive for dot and dabbing plasterboard, though rapidset may be fine.
