Maybe more for a DIY forum???
You may have seen the pics of my workshop in progress. Well, I'm now about to start insulating it and lining with Ply.
I've got a huge quantity of 3x2 sawn timber in for the studwork and 22 sheets of Brazilian 18mm WBP Ply (hope I've not contributed to another 50 miles of rainforest being cut down )
I'm going to fix the studs at 407mm centres but was wondering whether to nail or screw the Ply sheet to the studs? I want to have a smooth finish that will be painted with no fixings showing. The gaps between sheets (if any) will also need filling. Any thoughts?
I also need to work out how to fill/cover the fixings - what's suitable for use on ply - some kind of flexible filler? As there will no doubt be a lot of fixings, it's also got to be fairly quick to apply.
Oh, and there will be a few bits hanging from the walls - an odd cupboard or two.
Ta!
