Discuss How to tackle this straw board wall? in the America area at TilersForums. The USA and UK Tiling Forum (Also now Aus, Canada, ROI, and more)
I've only come across this once, in a flat on the west side of Barnton, Edinburgh.
The covering was thin ply. Had to take the ply down and then reboarded.
If i were you i would rip that down, I have the same walls (had the same) in my flat.
I pulled down 2 in my own bathroom & 1 in my kitchen, they are a bit of a bugger but they will come down.
I managed to put a reciprocating saw through them & took them down in sections.
The reason i had to take these walls down was so that i could put pads in the walls to carry radiators & a shower.
They werent very straight either.
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh already put gypsum wall adhesive . Do I really need to prime it? What primer should i use?If your going to use a flexible adhesive use the same addy to force into the stramit board rather than dri wall adhesive which is a gypsum product otherwise you would need to wait for the dri wall addy to dry and then would need priming before any cement based adhesive was applied...
