Hi, not sure if this is best place for this. I have laminate sheeting i want fix directly onto a plastered wall. What would you suggest fixing with. A glue/adhesive or something like no nails.
If it is laminate on a backing of plywood then I would fix with screws, or possibly Pink grip foam (squirt on the back, press panel in place and hold for 1 minute). If it is just thin laminate then fix to ply first with contact adhesive.
It's a thin 0.8mm sheet. Because of the space it's going into there are curves to the wall, one of the reason i've went with the laminate, so i don't think mounting on ply is an option. I have 3 sheets 10ft x 4ft, what quantity of the foam do you think for this.
I would have thougt that you would need to fix bendiply to the walls first and then use contact adhesive, tricky job though. Are the curves only in one axis? What are you trying to achieve?
It's a weirdly shaped vestabule to back of house used as a utility, door from kitchen then through to back door. There are slight curves where the arrows are. The other wall have slight angles which i thin the laminate will curve tound
My original thought was this http://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-contact-adhesive-beige-5ltr/61286 but wasn't sure if it would bond onto a plastered wall Then somebody above suggested http://www.wickes.co.uk/Everbuild-Pink-Grip-Dry-Fix-750ml/p/132396 or if somebody can suggest an equivalent i can get in Screwfix.
I have not chippie244, the first 2 sheets to go up should be straight forward the 3rd sheet is the only awkward one, hopefully i'll have sussed things out. My main worry is cutting it. Now thinking along the lines of the pink grip or http://www.screwfix.com/p/insta-stik-expanding-foam-grab-adhesive-750ml/72793
It's called contact glue for a reason...I have to agree with chippie. Once the two surfaces come in contact with each other ......that's it! no mercy is spared!
Don't use that, in fact re-think this entire project. I laminate quite often and I would have to be paid a lot before I would try this.
What clearance do you have top, bottom and sides and how square are your walls, are you wanting to achieve a tight fit like wallpaper.
It's going to be ceiling to floor, i can afford a gap at the bottom if i have to. Yes i will be trying to achieve a tight fit, at the moment there's only one noticeable join and that will eventually have a tall freezer in front of it.
I suspect the OP will be unable to due to being dead from inhaling the fumes from the huge tin of contact adhesive left open in the room all day in the sunshine!
Seriously. That very thing happened a few years back. Killed one guy and nearly his mate. Once the fumes get you you quickly lose your ability to make the correct decisions. I used to have to laminate the exposed faces of kitchen units back in the day. A rotten job, especially the side of a tower unit. Oh, the joys of kitchen fitting for Moben and Kitchens Direct back in the early 90s.
