how do I screw fasten the drywall boards so there is no protrusion?
Hi!
I'm working on fixing the interior trim around my windows and using renovation plasterboard 6mm. The problem I have is that when I screw the boards, 9 out of 10 holes have a small raise around the hole itself, which becomes really tricky to smooth out later when I plaster. I can cut away the part that sticks up, but is there anything specific to consider when screwing into plasterboard to achieve "nice holes" without raises?
I'm using a screwdriver and drywall screws. I'm using the 1st gear on the screwdriver, so it doesn't go very fast either, could that be the issue?

Hello,
I might not have a good answer to your question, but my experience is that it's harder to screw nicely in renoveringsgips than in regular gips. Additionally, renoveringsgips is more expensive! I used laminated wood panels for the reveals myself, and filled the screw holes. But, of course, it depends on the circumstances what you choose.
Good luck!
