How to glue plasterboard to chipboard

[kalubah]

I'm planning to glue 6mm renovation plasterboard onto particle board. I want to avoid screws as much as possible since there's vapor barrier plastic directly under the particle board. Unfortunately, I have had bad experiences with gluing renovation plasterboard; last time I tried it, I used PL600 (perhaps a bad choice in hindsight, but I wanted something somewhat healthy). The plasterboard didn't stick well when I pressed it, and I had to run around like a madman and add screws to hold the board in place. I ended up using about half the amount of screws I would have used if I had skipped the glue entirely..
As a comparison, I later attached plasterboard to a brick wall using tile adhesive - just press it on and release, it stuck immediately.

Anyway, tips on glue and workflow?

Maybe PL400 next time then?

There is a special gypsum adhesive from Europrofil called Magna.

LIP Flexicol can be used even if it is expensive.

Thank you for the response. With these adhesives, is it enough to press the board or do you need to put it in a clamp?

I glued plasterboard to a painted plaster wall with PL400, and it held perfectly. It was only where the wall wasn't straight that an occasional screw was needed.

Use regular kakelfix!

I might use PL400
Tile adhesive? Can it really work on a living material?

If "tank" says so, it usually works The panels in our bathroom were glued with adhesive, but it was on a light concrete wall.

Yes, it works. Much better than PL400 anyway. With the adhesive, there is full coverage behind the board and when it hardens, it becomes like concrete.

Applying PL400 in strands will result in voids in certain areas, not nearly as stable.

I assume you should prime the chipboard before applying tile adhesive so it doesn't absorb the moisture from the adhesive before it sets?

I really like LIP Flexicol (though not the price) because after spreading it with a notched trowel, it guarantees good adhesion and can handle considerable movement. Another advantage is that you avoid the hassle of mixing. However, as mentioned, it can make you poor...

It doesn't matter if you have vapor-tight plastic. Screw into the studs as usual.

It will probably be PL400 + I'll be ready with a few screws. When I've screwed 6mm before, it gets quite ugly and the plaster bulges around the screw hole. Should one use drywall screws for hard plaster, or what is recommended?
