Hello All, I need to stick new wallboards after repairing and replacing batons. What do you recommend as adhesive? Will a normal non solvent adhesive be good enough to cope with flexing and and movement during travel and changes in temperature? Any advise appreciated. Col.

Yes, or if you want belt and braces use Sikaflex!

512 is fine - they are all excellent adhesives.

sikaflex EBT is a lot cheaper and actually better suited to the task you have in hand than the 512 as its more of an adhesive than a sealant.

you can also get it easily from screwfix

Why not use whatever you used to stick the batons to the outer body?

I used the stuff they stick car panels on with (just can't remember the name but common enough) and it is good for the odd place where you need a slightly thicker bed

also used sikaflex 512   but that was just because I had some left over from another job
