For the DIYer, this is some of the best step by step on how to apply thinset mortar Ive ever seen. You cover all bases yet are patient enough to go slowly. Thank you doe your video. I came across this video as I was looking for the correct mortar to use in transitions between existing dry wall and new fiber boards.

Thanks man. I like the video a lot. I have more to learn and research but you’ve showed me the best information I’ve seen so far.

@maniacaledub2606 Жыл бұрын

Great video. My question is this. After you tape and fill your joints with thinset, let that dry and put a level to the wall, is your cementboard wall still plumb end to end? Thinset adds another layer to the cement board, and it's no longer super level. Is this a concern, if one is to use large tiles for a shower wall.

@SilverLiningDayDreams Жыл бұрын

It was such a small amount that it sticked out that it wasn’t a concern. It was still plumb enough. Remember you are putting thin set behind the tiles as you set them and should be using a tile leveling and spacer system of some type to avoid lipping. With larger sized tiles there is a little bit more mortar you apply behind the tiles than with smaller sized tiles; this gives little wiggle room to help plumb things 😊

Great job, informative video. One quick question Haven't checkdd comments yet, outside corner drywall meets cement board cement board will have tile, obviously drywall eventually painted, also will be doing tile profiles on edges but... getting ready to tape CB seams and fill with thinset

@SilverLiningDayDreams 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and posting a comment. I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you wondering if you can tile over where the drywall mud is feathered over the cement board some? My understanding is that it is ok if it is on the edge area where it won't get much water. We did seal the grout and are going to try to reseal it every year or two. So maybe that will help things to last.

@SilverLiningDayDreams 4 жыл бұрын

I used silicone caulk. I can’t speak from experience on what’s best. I think if I had to do it again I probably would have used same method with the tape and thin set. I just released a short RedGard waterproofing video where I talk a little on how the RedGard adhered to the silicone caulk.

newbie question here: what can be used as thinset? is mapei kerabond ok? Im in Canada and the hardare store doesnt have something specifically called thinset mortar?

@SilverLiningDayDreams 2 жыл бұрын

Depends on what you used for your substrate that you will tile over. There’s a man in Canada with lots of videos with one of his channels called home renovision diy. He will have vids on this subject with Canadian products. He would be a great resource for Canada questions 😊

I’m assuming by joint compound you mean Sheetrock compound. I would recommend not using it but I’m glad it worked out for you. I would recommend using the same mortar appropriate for use with your tiles. Thanks for watching 😊

So what's the point of leaving a 1/4" gap on the perimeters of hardibacker if you then fill it with thinset? I thought you want it to be able to move around?

Thinset has both flexibility and bond strength, so it has some give 😊

I actually called James Hardie about this today and they said DO NOT fill the 1/4" gap on the perimeter of each wall, AKA the corners. The guy said leave it open or use caulk. FYI

He said tape the corners and go over it with thinset but do not fill the crack in the corner (or floor for that matter) with thinset.

Like most rando people on youtube, he did this wrong. He used the wrong tape for the cement board. The mortar and cement board will eat that tape and the joints will eventually fail. He also appears to have the screws too far apart.The tub spout has no support so it is a very likely place for it to fail and start leaking. He also spent a lot of time on things that were completely pointless. When you put tile in, you will be covering the entire wall with thinset, so trying to go in and make it all perfect before hand it a waste of time.
