Product
Bostik EVO-STIK Gripfill Solvent Free
Gap-filling grab adhesive. Manufacturer TDS explicitly lists both plasterboard and cork among bonded substrates; interior-use product that needs protection from driving rain if used outside.
This is grab adhesive, no-nails, so everything true of that chemistry applies here too.

What it bonds
Where the manufacturer names a material, we quote them. Where we have assessed it ourselves, we say so and grade it lower. The two are never merged.
| Material | Basis | Manufacturer wording |
|---|---|---|
| Cork | Listed by the manufacturer A | “wood, plasterboard, MDF, hardboard, ceramics, glass, metal, cork, laminate, brick, breeze block, concrete, and most plastics” |
| EPS (polystyrene foam) | Listed by the manufacturer A | “especially suitable for bonding substrates that are sensitive to solvents such as expanded polystyrene” |
| Glass | Listed by the manufacturer A | “suitable for wood, plasterboard, MDF, hardboard, ceramics, glass, metal, cork, laminate, brick, breeze block, concrete, and most plastics” |
| MDF | Listed by the manufacturer A | “suitable for wood, plasterboard, MDF, hardboard, ceramics, glass, metal, cork, laminate, brick, breeze block, concrete, and most plastics” |

Preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from loose material. Prime very porous plaster or fibre-cement surfaces with the specified diluted PVA system and let it dry.
