As I explained in another comment, I couldn't get any at the time my lumber yard was out. I don't have access to a lot of materials here. It is my own house and plan on replacing it with a better one when I have the money.

Why didn’t you use MMR board instead of Sheetrock? There’s no way you can prevent the top of the wall getting wet and eventually soaking the wall behind the panel causing mold and the paper to separate. Moisture Mold resistant regular sheetrock is specifically made for this application. I’ve installed thousands of square feet of this in apartments and homes and it’s the recommended material for two reasons. The first is in the name mold resistant and the second is that if you use FRP glue or the tube glue the paper has a bonding agent on it to ensure that the layer of paper on the board doesn’t separate. Maybe call a real contractor before installing this. It’s a cheap product but can be a very good bathroom addition. The problem is that if it’s not done properly, as you’re showing, you’ll have water infiltration and mold /mildew in the wall space. I always use a moisture barrier above the panel and paint using a half round pvc or silicone strip to seal the top as well as aesthetic appeal. Those thanking you will be cussing you in a few short years when they can’t find where the musty smell is or the panels start coming off or both. Having to repair work like this because of contractors like you that literally throw the instructions aside because you believe you know what you’re doing made me lots of money but I don’t like the problem of the people having been sickened because of mold exposure nor the extra expense.

I'm on the fence on getting one myself and use the quick test strips that claim to do FC, pH, Bromine (I use chlor+brom in my pool), TC, TA, and CYA. I'm more curious to what it does to how you apply chems than the data. Other than knowing where your pool chemistry is, what behavior did it change for you? Does your phone say "hey, dummy put a pound of dichlor in your pool" or something similar?

I’m here because I’m doing my tub surround in our 1992 modular home. The original surround was just glued straight onto the wall panels which are kinda like drywall panels but have like a vinyl Like wallpaper on them. When I ripped the old surround out there was a bunch of the wallpaper stuff that ripped off exposing some of the paper layer underneath which I hope won’t be a problem when trying to glue the new surround on. I’m just in the process of scraping the old glue off with a putty knife to make sure it’s smooth with no bumps before I glue the new surround in
@dustenwalker4844 ай бұрын
Your surround should be glued to cement board or purple board that is water resistant. Placing it directly on drywall is not ideal for a bathtub surround with moisture. That paper that came off is supposed to be on and will make that wall more porous.

78-82” is good height for shower head….. some wall heights are different on the tub surrounds. I do agree that putting it 1 inch above the tub surround is a great place and you don’t have to worry about water getting on there unprotected part of the wall.
