Plasterboard is so much easier to cut and mount

jaegs if you look i never said any different. just pointing out that you can cut it exactly the same way.

You just been antagonistic the whole time, nothing new then.

aqua panel cuts in exactly the same way as PB. just score it with a knife and break

now if it is quicker is a totally different point.

let me know if you lot are struggling with it!

I am!

I can cut plasterboard just like you say, but I have been nearly 100% unsucessful in cutting aquapanel that way over any sort of length.
When I try the same thing with AP, the knife does not maintain a straight line even when I use it against a straight edge and the board does not snap. Usually end up taking a circular saw to it!
Now I am not a pro - obviously! - but I don't see it as "cuts in exactly the same way as PB" by any means

there is a difference in cutting the same way and it being as easy.
obviously if you are cutting a 2" strip off a board it wont work.
but if you want to do anything bigger then i dont have a problem doing it.
just do a light cut first with a knife and straight edge then remove the straight edge, run the knife down the cut a bit harder and snap it.
i have said all along it isnt as easy as P/B i am just saying you can cut it with a knife.

I have a couple more pieces to cut later today and will follow your suggestion

The first couple of pieces I did last week was taking 900mm boards to a 860mm width and I was very wary trying to snap it in case it took a 'wrong turn', as it were.

sorry hoovie i should have stated that it only works for larger strips.
i also use a cordless circular saw to do a little bit.

Do multiple scores with a new stanley blade then snap. Then rasp off the rough edge

i only started to cut it like this more because with the circular saw it gives of a ridiculous amout of dust.

Oh yes - my blade safety cover thingy is jammed open now with all the dust
