    Default wet plasterboard - firechek

    OK, I have some firecheck 13mm stored outside, and have just found the tarp to be less than perfectly waterproof, and the boards are now a little soft underfoot, and clearly have received moisture.

    Now the question is whether they are totally stuffed or able to dry out, and if they can be dried, how long? . They are being installed into the building fabric, and not been set, so that is not an issue, purely whether they will dry out and still have necessary holding power with a nail.

    drying out is important, because I dont want to introduce moisture into the walls from the get go. btw its 1/2 a dozen sheets.

    totally dead or salvageable?
