Hi All
Just ripping out and around the window has gone back to the brick but over the window is a metal perforated lintel.
What would be best to dot/dab to this with.
Raid tile adhesive,bonding coat or plaster adhesive
Cheers for your thoughts

i would use a cement based rapid set

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

As Scottley, dry wall adhesive, done loads of times
