The smell of the red guard is so horrible I would never use it again. . If you had an outside air mask that would work. The manufacturer says a vapor respirator.
Cement board mesh tape and thin set mortar over that at the seams. This video explains it more: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oVVGU1AxVhM.html Hope this answers your question 😊
@@SilverLiningDayDreams hello again but it seems to it would have been better to caulked the wall corners prior to tiling. Anyway I found out in this business there are multiple ways to do a job The goal here is to make sure it is done correct. I must say that is the first time I heard of applying silicone caulk after the tiling was done. I might try that myself. So tell me did you apply the silicone caulk before grouting or after grouting
@@SilverLiningDayDreams also is it necessary to use drywall compound on the green board for the seams and covering the nail heads seems like a bit overkill if you are going to use Redguard What is your position on that.
We applied the 100% silicone caulk to the wall corners after grouting and allowing the grout to thoroughly dry. Tile setters definitely have different opinions on how to go about it. Time will tell with our shower but I feel it should be ok. We also sealed the grout and as long as we periodically reseal the grout and periodically check on the caulk condition things should hold up over time.
Great questions. I don’t feel it’s overkill as it gives piece of mind. I used thin-set because that’s usually what I’ve seen done. My understanding is that it helps keep the tiles from cracking. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
