Hi guys

Gonna plasterboard a 'fake' chimney breast what is the best method to secure the plasterboard corner beads?

Normally 25mm clout nails banged straight into the masonary.
Make sure they are galvanised.
Using standard steel ones will enventually bleed through with rust onto your new work.

or stick them with a bit of multi, knock it up a bit stiff, and wipe of the excess thats comes through the bead...or let the plasterer do it.
