Creating a walkin shower, your info videos are a great help, thanks

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Thx Frank!

[@doublej118jc]

I have the same issue with my shower walls where my backerboard is lower than the adjoining drywall. I didn't think to use a notched trowel when applying my first coat of thinset and then apply a 2nd coat using a flat trowel. Thanks for the advise!

[@RickMcQuay]

Good videos, thanks. Most gloss over the prep work or are so shaky and poor quality they are unwatchable. Your videos are a big help on my bath remodel.

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Thanks and glad to help Rick!

What do you do if you have to much build up? Are you able to sand it down?

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

You can. Or you can grind it off but, it will be dusty.

[@charlieconustedes9969]

Day 32... still fixing cement board walls.

[@MsGetouttatown]

I am waterproofing the seams now, I watched your video first and it was really helpful! On the video you mentioned using the roller next. Did you mean rolling the hydro ban in the whole shower?

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Thank you! Yes I paint the membrane in the entire shower.

[@ladykilla6]

Hi, is the goal to “flatten walls” and make them completely level? Or just flatten any dips or humps?

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Flatten them but where the tile ends you will want that to be level for the best visual.

[@larslover6559]

Hi brother, I have one question: Is it possible to use thinset to level concrete floor as preperaruon for tiles? We don't get the self levelling cement product in India where I live so I need to find a good alternative method

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Yes thinset is just fine to use.

[@odalv316]

So can I use cement to joint cement board to drywall or I have to buy some special adhesive/mud to do it?

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Yes you can and no you do not.

[@johnday1798]

I know this is an old video, however, I have noticed I have lippage between my kerdi board and drywall. I am off by maybe 1/8 of an inch as I apparently didn’t apply enough thinset during the wet shim process. Can I use this same method over kerdi board with all set?

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Sure you can do that

[@jrbarthol994]

Wish I knew what Type Of Waterproof you Use.

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

+Jr Barthol I use hydroban

[@kurtwm2010]

can I tile over a semi-gloss painted wall ? If not, what do I need to do to keep the tiles on the wall?

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Yes you can!

[@oraclebusinessintelligence4072]

How do you smooth the seems where you put the thin set? How flat do The seems need to be?

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

+Oracle Business Intelligence I use the flat side of a trowel or a taping knife. Just don't cause a hump.

[@MiddleAgedMomsMakingMusic]

What kind of thin set are you using to level? I'm confused about whether to use non modified or modified .. ?

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Modified

[@MiddleAgedMomsMakingMusic]

@@SoThatsHowYouDoThat thank you!

[@thomaswhitaker1007]

why do you put backerboard 2 inches inside of tile?

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

So then the sheetrock can be finished at that area and be ready to receive paint. If you want to extend it go right ahead.

[@oscarcastillocancino6474]

What kind of tinset did you use

[@juancervantes561]

What cement did you use to level the wall

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Just a thinset

[@usgamechamp2323]

oh man, im late to the party. i just went to his facebook page and there hasnt been in videos in over a year

[@MrKadidle51]

So why did you put a bunch of mud on only one wall?

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Because that wall needed the most prep.

[@victorruiz5972]

Wat kind for thinset do u use on cement board joints

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Use a modified thinset. (it has latex in it)

[@picco68]

any way to send you where I am to get info ?

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Yeah on my website
