    Hi,

    New to this forum, and I am trying to come up with the best way to fix new plasterboard onto an internal blockwork wall which has already been dot and dabbed. I don't want to go down the road of taking plasterboard off and cannot skim it as the wall paper is proving very difficult to take off.

    What I want to do is put new 12.5 plasterbord to cover it up, but do not know how to fix it.

    Thanks in advance ....
