I can't quite make out who wants the offcut, and who's just chiacking
from the sidelines...

I take it that "plasterboard" means Gyprock or similar. But if a piece
of 5mm-thick "blueboard" would do the job, I have an offcut that would
render up a piece of the size you want. Call me.

And on this topic, if anyone out there has a spare length of James
hardie Primeline in the "Heritage" profile, at least 3.8 metres long,
I can use it. Give me a price.
