dot and dab. . . . .

[lurch]

I do some sub contract work for two different contractors. One of which insists on using capping in dot and dab buildings, the other does not. Who is correct?

Must admit i use capping under dot and dab.

Especially nowadays as most walls are insulating blocks and it fixes lovely with some 2" large head clout nails.

. . . . getting back to the original post, there are a lot of opinions , but no real definitive answer, and by that I mean there does not seem to be any direction from the regs book or from a building regs perspective, unless I am missing soemthing?

There isn't a reg that says you must use it,however there is one that states something like the cables should be installed correctly for its environment.
