Why not use stud adhesive for tiled areas?
After hanging some Gyprock Aquachek last weekend according to the Gyprock pamphlet I was given by the seller, I have since found a more detailed installation guide on the Gyprock website that says stud adhesive must not be used in areas to be tiled.
I hung all my sheets using nails and stud adhesive. Do I have to rip off the sheets in the areas to be tiled and rehang using only nails? Why should stud adhesive not be used for tiled areas?

The instructions don't say why but I was told it was because tiled areas are usually wet areas (bathrooms) and moisture/condesation can get behind the walls causing the adhesive to let go.
Removal shouldn't be needed. Just bang in a few more nails.
Don't force it, use a bigger hammer.
Timber is what you use. Wood is what you burn.

The bubblegum doesn't like water
Put in some Tek screws as well at 300mm centres. Forget the extra nails.Removal shouldn't be needed. Just bang in a few more nails.c2=a2+b2;
When buildings made with lime are subjected to small movements thay are more likely to develop many fine cracks than the individual large cracks which occur in stiffer cement-bound buildings. Water penetration can dissolve the 'free' lime and transport it. As the water evaporates, this lime is deposited and begins to heal the cracks. This process is called autogenous healing.

Thanks very much for the responses.
Should I use screws rather than nails because they will be through the stud adhesive? I have read that as the stud adhesive shrinks it can pop out nails.
