gluing plasterboard to brick with solvented adhesive--fumes

Hello,
We would please need some advice.
We have recently redone the plaster on a part of a wall in a bedroom. Everything was removed to the brick, a sealant was used to treat the brick, and then plaster board was glued to brick. That part of the wall is about 1.6mx1.2 m. The builders have used 3 tubes of GripFill Xtra ( http://www.plumbcenter.co.uk/product/evo-stik-gripfill-xtra-solvent-based-adhesive-350ml/?gclid=CjwKEAjwtJzLBRC7z43vr63nr3wSJABjJDgJKv4D_qrbgtxyqaGHReSUis2qumutX9vYJ_TkvOjfpxoCx4Pw_wcB)

There were two parts of plasterboard joined together.

This was done on Sunday. Then the plasterboard was skimmed the same day. Tuesday was rainy, so humid. On Wednesday, we have painted.

However, we still get a very strong solvent smell/fumes coming from that wall. Is this normal? Was perhaps too much glue used? Will the smell disappear eventually? How long does it take? That part of the wall is next to a window and facing east, so it gets some sun heat and ventilation. We are quite concerned, this is our child's room.

Please advice.

Thank you very much.

 

Thank you very much? Would that be weeks? Months?

 

Thank you again.
Was the process otherwise correct? I am a little afraid that something may seal in the smell, as we really do not see any difference from one day to another...

 

Thank you, this is a little reassuring.

We are really concerned, especially since we have done this since there was a chemical reaction between the primer and a new plaster and we could not get rid of the smell in 3 months. The primer manufacturer said this happens in 1/100000 cases. We used Zinser etc to get rid of the smell, but in the end the solution was to take off all the plaster (from the ceiling and this part of the wall)...and now we run into this problem as we trusted the decorators...

You would not use this because of the smell?

 

Thank you

 

we painted with dulux (as I said, three days after the plasterboard was installed skimmed )

 

I am sorry, I am a little afraid to share the name of the paint here. But is was not Dulux. Will check with my lawyer friend and will come with more info if told that this would be OK.

Still smelling very strongly today, basically unchanged, almost one week after applying the glue, particularly at the junction between the two pieces of plaster. We have found an empty tube of the glue and it still smells very strongly, even if it was emptied and placed outside one week ago. Which is very concerning. It could be that the fumes will be released from the plaster board for quite a while.

We have decided to wait one more week (still cannot use the room).

If it does come to us having to remove the plaster on that part of the wall (since we do not want to take any risks with our child), will this be difficult? Are there any problems we can run into? Do you advise to do that rather soon (so the glue can be removed more easily)?

And if we get to plaster or render the wall, how long do we need to wait until we paint?

Thank you

 

Well, the smell is still here two weeks after using the glue

we are strongly considering redoing that part of the wall. since time is a big factor, we are considering dot and dabing that part of the wall. But and I would please need some advice.

1. how long after fixing the board can it be skimmed?
2. how long after skimming can it be painted? (again, the wall is next to the window and facing east)

Also, if we go for this, what would to recommend for "gluing" the board to the wall that would be less chemical?

Thank you very much

 

Thank you very much.

Would using adhesive similar to the skimming material be bad (as we are really concerned now about using any chemicals)?
Also, can the board be skimmed right after installing (within minutes)? or we need hours/days in between?

Thank you again

 

Thank you.
