Havent used tubbed in a little while but pretty sure BAL grip is suitable for ply.

As you already have it, what does it say on the tub?

That was my impression too.. Why not box in with plasterboard, rather than ply? Its cheaper, and you don't have to worry about it shrinking, and popping tiles.

Why not dot and dab corners with blue tac you've probably got some of that kicking about the house too.
Damn sight cheaper and later on you can just pull em of when u want to change tiles for a more modern look.

certainly don't use a "no nails, pink grip etc" Will. Is it a floor level boxing in that runs horizontally?
