Got a glass splashback to fit behind a free standing cooker, 900 x 700 onto new plasterboard.
Going to fit a slim batten below cooker level to support the glass, what prep do you recommend for the plasterboard and what adhesive would you use to hold it in place?

Re: Glass Splashback
Thanks for the link, confirms what I thought re adhesive, I think Zinsser GARDZ would be OK for sealing the plasterboard - soon know if it falls off!
There are no problems - only solutions

Re: Glass Splashback
You can stick straight onto the plasterboard. never seen it sealed before hand and never pulled a splashback or mirror off from a sealed plasterboard. So if they stay put for 20 years without sealing, it must be fine.
