I couldn't help but notice, you sound like Ricky from the TPB and learned a trade.
Thanks for the video, very helpful.
I've seen a lot of tutorial videos. Yours are really easy to follow for some reason. Really clear, direct and no wasted time. Thanks for posting. They are helping me confirm a few things in my bathroom renos.
Thanks for that comment Tony!
My tub shower is set up the same exact way. I'm having water issues in the same spot to. About to redo my bathroom. I cant believe I found this video
When I'm faced with this situation, I use EZ Sand as it dries harder and it has no organic compounds that mold & mildew feed on.
Just my suggestion.
I suggest using plastic corner bead and stainless nails or screws. I'm not crazy about the plastic type, but the metal corner bead will rust sooner or later, making plastic the better choice.
Proper fix is to build out that wall atleast 2 inches to accept tile and caulk while utilizing plastic corner bead. Also, when needing to shim partial studs, you should wet shim behind the backer board.
Here in Canada we’d (i’d) use durabond there. Durabond is a setting compound that’s one step softer than concrete.
Thanks for the videos, they do answer a lot of questions.
Thank you!
You do a great job with these videos! They are very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you
I had the exact same situation on the edge of my tub(your left side edge is so thin and a peoblem for tile. Both my tub edges are like that) . New installation . I used durock on the surround but ran purple dry wall on the outside and the edge is exposed to tiling and or moisture . I am going to tear off the purple from the tub down and redo it using durock strips from the top of tub down and leave the purple drywall from there up as it won't be getting wet with the sliding doors in place .
Thanks for the Vid ! It hit my question right on the head !!!
Thx for the comment Kent! I am very happy to help.
I like your video to it’s clear to see all the details thanks bro I’m going to remodel my shower
Thx and good luck. If you need more help check out my link below for Tile University. All my videos are in there and so am I to help with all your questions.
Thanks. You make it look easy!
You're welcome.
I just tiled my tub surround and it ends at the edge where the surround ends and the bathroom wall meets. I want to put the bullnose on the wall and grout the space between the end of the tile and where the bullnose would be on the wood wall. Do I need to waterproof the strip of wood because the grout will soak up some kind of water? Thanks
No that should be good to go
I would like to see how you finished the "problem area" at 1:18 in this video. I have something similar except I have a door jamb about an inch from my tub and I'm trying to figure out how to finish it. I'm not sure if that part is in another one of your videos, but I was unable to find it. Thanks for all the great info!!!
I have more info for this on my website in my members area- tile university.
great job,
Thanks for the videos! I'm wondering if the metal corner bead you use is specifically for cement board (Durock, etc) or is the just the same bead you'd use with drywall..?
Same as for sheetrock.
I am having a hard time on how to transition from durock cement board to drywall. my tiles are gonna end up right where sheetrock and cement board meet. at some places the sheetrock sticks out more as well.
Just cut back the sheetrock some more and finish the joint off to the tile area then be sure to waterproof any joint compound in the tile area with a waterproof paintable membrane.
I'm beginning the remodel of a bathroom, same setup as this one.....half of corner bead on dry wall other half of bead on GoBoard which is a light weight type of board.....my question is won't the joint compound lose its strength after being exposed to the humidity and moisture in the bathroom? I don't want the tiles falling off the wall. Also did you nail the corner bead through the cement board? Brand new and learning as I go. Great video series, and thank you for your help!
No because you need to paint over it with a waterproof membrane. Look for my videos on waterproofing I have more on my website inside Tile University. Go to sothatshowyoudothat.com.
yes I nailed the cornerbead
What would be wrong with taking the cement board all the way to the edge of the wall line, overlapping the end of the drywall?
After you taped it is necessary to do water proof printable membrane
Do you have any other videos on this bathroom where u complete that edge by the tub that's the problem area for water? I have the same exact setup in my bathroom and I want to make sure I don't mess anything up in that corner edge
Here is one - ua-cam.com/video/icyor45wyCs/v-deo.html
Cool video!! Dropping a LIKE making it 2.2K
Liking your vids. You mentioned a method to square the corners with thin-set and were going to get back to it but I don't think you did. I'm at the stage where I have to do this so would be interested in the process. I'm thinking I'll just fill it in with a trowel much like you did for the hollow spot in the wall. Probably drag my square down the corner like a trowel. Stop me if I'm sounding crazy... I actually was just going to leave it, cut the tile to fit, and hope the grout pulled it all together. Lame, right?
both will work. The inside corners are easier to deal with when they are not square. However, the outside corners need to be perfect.
what about where the cement board sits on top of the tub what do you cover that lip with ?
I painted it with a waterproofing membrane and I used a fiberglass mesh tape. Then I smoothed it with thin set.
Where is the continuation of this video where you show how to use thin set to tape the joints and to make the wall flat? Thanks.
On my website. There is a link below in the description.
SoThatsHowYouDoThat : Probably a stupid DIYer question, but anyway... I have an INSIDE corner, where I need to butt tile up against drywall. Is there ANY way to do this so it looks passable, or do I just need to rethink the whole decorating plan for this bathroom? This is a wall/wall corner, not a wall/ceiling corner.
SoThatsHowYouDoThat what is the name of that tape?
can I apply tile mortar before I tape between cement boards? Then tape , then put another layer of tile mortar. Thank you
You could but be careful not to get too much build-up in those areas causing a hump
thanks for the helpful video, question before adding the thinset on top of the mud would i need to use any type of primer?
always use a paintable membrane in a shower. just wash the walls first then apply it will stick.
Do you have a video that shows the final outlook on how you finished the area by the edge of the tub that you put cement board? I have the same issue and have been trying to figure out how to finish that area up.
You can send some pics to me on my Facebook page there's a link in the description below the video I don't have a video of the finished product on UA-cam it's actually in my members area tile University on my website which there is a link in the description below the video
I thought you don't want to use thinset in the corners because of when the house shifts but you taped them for thinset? Most use caulk in the corners to prevent cracks right?
No. I like to just use tape and membrane when i get tge corners tight. Otherwise i fill with thinset then membrane over the too. The membrane (hydroban is what I use ) acts as a crack isolator and a waterproof barrier. Check out my members area for all my videos. Also I am there to help you with your questions. Tile university. There is a link below.
I'm working on my shower and my question is are you supposed to put thinset behind the tape, inside the seams, and then lay the tape with another coat on top?
No. I used hardi backer in that video. I did not want to create humps so I taped and then just used the membrane. If I was using durock then i would tape and then apply thinset, then the membrane.
So, it's okay to use cement board tape to also go over sheetrock portion when joining cement backer board (Durock or Hardi)? Also, did you say you let your Durock run past or beyond where tiling stops-ends, or sheetrock to extend under edge of end (bullnose) tiles? Thank you! Great videos!
Yes you can use tape. You can end the cement board just short of the tile. It really doesn't as long ad you paint membrane over the areas that the tile covers.
hi u did my whole guest room shower with durock. what is the best way to finish the areas where there will be no tiles. am looking for a smooth finish. and I don't know what to do at this point. thanks in advance
Sheetrock joint compound. Ask me on facebook and send me a pic.
If you want to see a rusty outside corner, come back in 5 yrs. Try using plastic bead and SS nails
When you have a corner like this one, what did you use to fasten that corner bead on to the cement board with?
I used nails.
What kind of thinset is used with cement board? Modified or unmodified?
Modified
@@SoThatsHowYouDoThat thank you!
thinset should go over cement board tho right? just for cement board
Yes use thinset. However on the corner bead you can use drywall compound just be sure to apply a waterproof membrane over the top of it
what is the grey liquid you're using? it looks very smooth not like thin-set.
That is hydroban. Its a paintable membrane. I use this to waterproof and it also will help with not having any cracked tile in the future
I was wondering what type of thinset to use when floating a wall. I went ahead and used non-modified . I thought you had said in one video but couldn't find it.
I use modified. Was it over cement board?
Yes it was. Thanks
Have you ever installed a Hydroban Shower pan system? And if so do you recommend it? I am stuck between that or the Kerdi shower pan. Doing a mortar bed seems a bit to much.
Yes you can use the Kerdi showerpan. The only problem is they don't fit every situation.
SoThatsHowYouDoThat Awesome, thx for responding.
If I bring tile all the way to corner do I just tape and mud the corner, or install the metal bead and tile over that? Also can I use setting compound or what kind of joint compound? USG Durock's limitations state: "Do not use lightweight setting-type joint compounds or ready-mix joint compounds directly over USG Durock® cement board." Also what kind of tape where the cement board meets drywall, cement board or green board tape?
Uh-Oh! So, I used plaster to join cement board and sheet rock. BUT, I also used plaster to fill in my joins cement board to cement board, prior to sealing with membrane... did I mess up big time?!?!
nah just paint it with a paintable membrane and all is well
Shoulda replaced that tub look oem
Wasn't my choice! But the tub was covered with laminate pad.
How do you fix it if you have bullnose corner
You would need to end your tile before the bullnose corner
Is tat a paper roll u are sticking between joints??
No, it is a mesh tape.
Finishing comical name??
I've been watching your videos for a while before I started doing my bathroom reno. I'm at the point where I installed my corner bead and one corner is hardibacker and the other corner is drywall. the drywall side feathered out perfect since the drywall is thinner on the edge for the tape/corner bead. The hardibacker of course isn't thinner on the edge so I'm trying to feather out that side with lots of mud. It's still not feathered out right as I see a gap between the tile and hardibacker. Should I feather out again with thinset or keep going with mud?
can you please send me a pic on my facebook page there is a link below in the descrirtion.
SoThatsHowYouDoThat sent
Grout will fill that gap!
SoThatsHowYouDoThat I figured it might. I added another layer of mud to try to level it a little better. it's better than it was. I bought the t-lock spacers to help with any waves in the walls.
Thanks for making and sharing this video, camera man was lacking in skills, didn;t show much of what you were referring to
I did * my whole shower with durock* correction to my last comment.
Why can you not paint the thin set
It just won't look as good once you paint thinset you'll be able to tell that it wasn't finished off very smoothly I mean you can give it a try if you want I'm just saying that you can't stand it down smooth like you can with sheetrock joint compound so you can see the thinset underneath the paint once it's painted
its joint compound?
Yes and no. I used joint compound on the corner and where the cement board meets the sheetrock. Then I used thinset on the cement board joints in the shower.
why don't you use a Schluter?
I do use schluter and I have a lot of new videos using schluter coming soon!!!
Joint compound under tile. Sorry but that definitely not how you do that.
where is your Redguard?
Actually, I use hydroban which is a far better memvrane and that is in another video.
can I friend u on face book .
Sure can!
