When installing OSB boards at a door, can you place the seam in the door line if you then let the drywall go over the door and seam there?
When you have OSB boards behind, can you seam the drywall in places other than over the studs?
 
To the second question: Yes

First: The plaster should be level with the frame, so you can put a casing on the frame that covers the joint between the plaster and the frame.
 
And welcome to the forum, I forgot :)
 
Thank you, but I wasn't clear on the first question.
I'm wondering if it's possible to join underlying OSB boards right at the door line and if it's only the drywall that needs to be enclosed by the door?

Hard to understand what you mean?
 
I understand what you mean. Actually, it's just the plaster that needs to enclose the frame corner. To be completely honest, I usually make sure that either the plywood or the plaster encloses the corner. Generally speaking, I avoid butt joints. It usually works for me.

Building a partition wall and covering the entire wall with OSB boards. When I reach the door, I would like to join the OSB board on the same stud that the door will be attached to. So I will have an OSB joint in the door line above the door. Is this okay if I then place the drywall joint in the middle above the door?

With the answer above, I interpret it as a yes.

Now I understand. I think you can do that. If you're worried, glue the OSB with white glue against the stud, and it will be stiff enough.
 
Aha and sure, it's possible to do it that way, but you can also start with the OSB so that it joins in the middle of the door and build outwards. I don't take as much consideration to where the studs are when plastering on the OSB, but if I can, I stagger the plasterboard.

Is there anyone who has skipped screws and glued boards?
It would be practical and quick to work with, airplanes are glued after all.
 
I find that OSB almost has a somewhat waxy surface and would not trust solely gluing OSB. And thus not gluing plasterboards onto OSB sheets.
 
I have glued renovation gypsum, but it doesn't really save any time, as you have to put in some screws to hold the board in place during curing. Now, I did use a cheap installation adhesive, but still.. Adhesive needs time to cure.
 
Well, I don't mean that the glue would replace the screws, but complement them.

No, there's no reason to do so.
 
When constructing a bathroom, you should drive the drywall screws through the underlying sheet and into the stud, I assume it's the same for regular walls actually, but many probably ignore that.
