Dot and Dab Plasterboard onto painted walls - TilersForums.com

I think it depends how well fixed you want it. Swings and roundabouts. I like to rely on the bond of the driwall adhesive as well as the screws.

Best practice would be to remove the backing coat of plaster completely and D&D to the brick/block wall IMO. That way the depth is less too

Thistle bond is probably overkill though

What he is say is you don't thistle bond your battens you mechanically fix . So why not just mechanically fix through the dots. Same process .

I think there's some confusion going on with Thistle Bond ( bonding coat plaster) and Thistle Bond-it ( primer) although I may be wrong...

Is this something that you ever do? Or is that only if the plaster is in a bad way

I understood us to be talking about bond it - the primer type coating that is painted on.

Do it all the time. Usually hack off the old plaster though.

Sorry, was first thing in morning, and my grasp on the queens english is bad enough
No need to thisle bond it , either screw battens if you have the space or dot and dab boards and screw through dabs, the bond it will be doing nothing imo
