Ok, you jumped to the part of putting stuff up, but how the hell do you get the lid off the damn bucket? I've been trying for the past 15min. I tore off the part that said to tear off and the rest of it won't budge.
I read this is rated for use as a shower liner. I am going to use the goofproof shower system but was wondering if i could use this as the shower liner and if so do i apply it between the pre-pitch and quikpitch or only to the top of the quickpitch. I was considering using this as my waterproofing for the walls because i've read it smells less than the redguard but i have only found instructions on how to use redguard as a shower liner not aquadefense. Any help is greatly appreciated.. Still in the planning, supply gathering stage of a fully bathroom remodel. Taking out an old castiron tub and putting in a tile shower.
2 coats is not necessarily enough its important to achieve 0.9mm of thickness! And any cement boards are absorbing water same way as many other substrates.
Yep that's why many producer have started manufacturing cloth (roll stuff) which will applied to wall or floors with glue or thinset and you don't need to think is it thick enough because it will always be.
@@usa5439 Well presumably, the membrane product was applied, if so, the dry wall should be in ok nic. I would still use cement board in a shower, however.
@@usa5439 I used green drywall but my shower is the shower/tub combo with fiberglass walls. Anyway, nearly 8 years later and the drywall is like new. I actually tore into the wall to do some remodeling and the drywall was still in good shape with no issues. I know putting drywall around a shower for the walls isn't a good idea and cement backer board should be used. But, it seems that lately the "DYI" videos being made by contractors are just trying to "one-up" their competitor by doing more and more and more and more to a project to seem like they know best and are the most qualified for the job. Seal it. tape it, seal it, concrete it, wire mesh it, bring in a witch doctor from "X" company to cast a spell over it, use this special type of elixir sold only by Widgits are Us collected at midnight on All Hallows Eve each year from the rain forests of the amazon................
Could i use this at the base of my tub? My home builder installed carpet instead if tile in my master bathroom. Im in the process of ripping out the carpet to install tile myself. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to lay some of this stuff on the plywood floor before I put in the cement board?
+fencerider The cement board is waterproof anyway provided you tape all of the joints (I don't know which system you use - normally use Marmox board) so using this might be overkill.
Great! Now you have a shower that will maybe last 5 years. As soon as the corners crack you can say bye bye to the bond between the paper and the gypsum BECAUSE SHEETROCK MELTS when it gets damp. BUT I bet you made a bundle by not using backer board. Now hang some weight on that paper BECAUSE PAPER IS ALL YOUR BONDED TOO!! FAIL
+Elf Kind All installed according to Mapei's own instructions. Ceramic tiles were used that were well within gypsum advised weight limits but thank you for your comment.
...Gypsum wallboard (walls only, primed, in approved application areas only)" Sheetrock and greenboard are NOT approved for showers and wet areas. You didn't even use the "water resistant" Greenboard(which really can't get wet wet) in the shower. SHOW ME your data. I know how these bathrooms fail, I fix them all the time. "within gypsum advised weight limits".... what kind of mumbo jumbo is that? SHOW ME THE NUMBERS.
I have demolished showers that has been tiled straight to gypsum drywall and lasted 20 year with no issue. So adding waterproof and reinforce corners with fabric for sure it will last longer. And you should always use correct gypsum board for shower room.
dope music. Friend gave the rest to me and I found your video on how to use it..
I use this for all my showers, second story toilets etc.

@@michaelbalfour3170 yes, that's what it's mainly applied on. mold proof tape and thinset joints before applying
Question can I paint over aqua defense membrane
