Attaching MDF to an interior wall

[cisamcgu]

Good afternoon,

I wish to attach some 6mm MDF to an interior wall (I presume it is plasterboard and then skimmed - it is in a house about 15 years old).

I want it to be as simple as possible, but gluing would need too long time to set. Would an electric brad nailer like THIS be good enough to pin the MDF to the wall while the glue dries ? Also, what would be the best glue to use ?

Thanks
Andrew

Wouldn't plug & screw be better?

Whatever you do you will need to check what runs behind the wall before inserting fixings - unless you are 100% positive nothing is concealed.

It also depends if you are hanging anything from the MDF or is it just the board. If it is big piece that covers two wall studs you could use those as an anchor point.

Nothing is hanging from the MDF, and yes, good point about checking if anything is behind the wall - any advice ?

And plug and screw - food for thought ...

There are screws with 'butterfly nuts' when you push them through the pre drilled hole they open up ensuring a secure fixing.
