Someone posted about this subject a few weeks back and I have some more questions. I am getting ready to replace the "shower board" material (material is a composite board material with a waterproof shiny front that looks like tile) in a shower in my family's vacation place. The existing board was put in about 25 years ago and it has worked very well but needs replacing. I bought the new board at Home Depot and the adhesive they recommend using. I have a few questions on installing this stuff though, as follows:
1) The product comes with plastic border strips both for seams and corners. Do I also need to use bathroom sylicone sealent along all edges for water-tightness?2) Someone here noted to be sure the board does not touch the tub, but that I leave a slight gap to avoid the water "wicking" up into the board. How big a gap do I leave?
Any other suggestions would also be welcome!
