I need to glue a small 4cm metal strip to plaster board (magnetic
catches) I currently have wood glue and silicone, would either of these
suffice?
It is not load bearing just to hold in place.

You need something like evostik or maybe epoxy/car body filler.

Superglue might work too.

The type of glue won't make any difference, the weakest part is the paper
you're glueing it to, once this comes away from the rest of the PB the
fixing has failed

Superglue probably won't work.

The others will, but I'd use Araldite or similar unless I just happened
to have car filler around, then I'd use that instead.

If you don't want to have to hold it in place while it sets, then an
impact adhesive (like evostik) will be good for metal to cardboard - the
plaster isn't really relevant.

Is it plasterboard, or *plastered* plasterboard?

I'd suggest araldite, or foam-backed double sticky.

No.

I'd have thought a good contact adhesive might be good as long as the
plasterboard is in good condition.

If glueing to plasterboard, try to glue directly to the cardboard surface, glueing to skimmed PB is the weakest solution.

Not enough depth as I dont want to go completely through the
plasterboard, so it has to fix without going completely through the board.
I will get some contact adhesive and try that.

Is it too late to get spring-loaded hinges that don't need a catch?

Strong ex-HDD magnet stuck on the other (hidden?) side of the plasterboard?

Secure it though, so it won't pull through ...

I dont think they would suffice.
What I am doing is creating a false wall within a cupboard (approx 1 x
sq metre) so just needs holding in place, I will have a `dead` consumer
box mounted on it to deter anyone from tampering with it.

P.S. I got some contact adhesive today.

In article <bqEXA.133262$0S.6...@fx17.am4>,
Bonding coat plaster will do this - I've used it to hold metal back
boxes to plasterbaord for sizes where plasterboard fixing back boxes
are not available. Ideally, get the plaster to ooze through some holes
in the metalwork, but it bonds well enough that's not normally a
problem.

I've just tried some 2 part superglue (supposed to work like araldite but faster?) but it isn't fast. Still waiting for it to set after a few minutes (gluing plastic to wood). I'll just use normal superglue from now on!
