This is awesome, thank you! My Mom is going out of town in a few weeks and I really want to surprise her with an updated bathroom. I'm always confident in my ability to make something beautiful, but as a novice I watch videos to ensure I'm adding quality. Videos like these give me that peace of mind. Thanks for all you do. 🙏
Taking the time to show the tools used is huge. So many content creators don't show this step. Very well done. Big fan of your IG and YT channels. You're going places!
Thanks for the awesome, detailed tutorial! I really like the use of the fiber tape reinforcement on and in the corners! The use of the marine waterproof calking is a fantastic idea, suspenders and a belt, I love it! I was a building contractor well before these products were introduced and now that I'm retired I have become my wife's personal contractor, LOL! This really takes the mystery out of using this (and other) product(s) and allows me to set forth with confidence. For that sir I thank you very much!!!
I Just found you last week. Love your videos. Your videos are professional, very informative, to the point ( they don't drag out for 45 min) and you smile often., love your personality, You have become my favorite youtuber
I've helped my mentor do a couple showers but never confident to do one on my own. The more videos I watch you explaining this the more confident I feel. I have to redo my own shower and figured I'd do that one on my own. Your videos are legit!! Thanks for being you!!
Your mentor, who you can meticulously study, who you can ask questions to, and who can assist you and correct you as you go wasn't enough to make you feel confident but some dude on TH-cam did the trick?
Perfect timing! Literally doing this to my shower this weekend. Thank you for the tips. I really appreciate the up close shots and the segment of the materials you'll need.
Ahh dude i would have totally screwed it up. So glad i found you. Doing my first ever shower surround ever. Like tomorrow. On a second floor!.. i don't need leaks and this is by far the best video i have found. Thanks man subscribed and liked!...
Extremely helpful, and entertaining my friend. Missed the 6" mesh link and waaay over paid for the redgard version. I've done a ton of floor tile, this was my first shower/wall tile. Thanks for the step by step!
Don’t paint it? Roll it? That’s the same thing pretty much. Of course you don’t have to worry about the lines like when you paint. Also, i do 3 coats just to make sure!
Thanks for this video! I’m about to redguard my bathroom and it was very helpful. I do have 2 questions I hope you can help me with though. 1. How do you handle the drywall joint between the ceiling and walls? I saw you used redguard right up to the ceiling but how do you seal that joint? I know you’re not supposed to use redguard over joint compound so I’m confused as to how I should tape that joint and if I should tape over the redguard or under. Any tips? 2. Similarly, if I have a vertical butt joint between a redguarded shower wall and non-redguarded wall, how do I tape that joint if redguard does not adhere to joint compound? Thank you so much in advance for your help!
GREAT VIDEO NEW SUB DOING MY RESEARCH IN DOING A SHOWER SO IVE BEEN WATCHING MANY VIDEOS JUST LOOKING WHATS THE BEST BACK BOARD AS THEY HAVE DIFFERENT KINDS PLUS IVE SEEN SOME R HARMFUL TO BREATHE WHILE CUTTTING ... PLANNING THE PREP PART ALSO ANY MORE TIPS U RECOMMEND
For how outrageously expensive it is, I hope it works…just put it in my walk-in shower. Only thing is…how could you know how well it works unless you find out 5-10 years from now long after the fact?
If the walls are wavy and your talking about 3/8 of an inch or more difference in and out. You can float the wall. Or you redo the wood studs so when you put the durock on you don't have to worry about anything
Good video, just found you. Question, on the bottom where you stopped the Durock on top of the tub flange you ran a bead of the Hydro Ban and smushed in in with your fingers, How do you deal with this unevenness when you tile? Do you just float the tile over it, fill it with thinset to even it out? P.S. I have never laid a piece of tile in my life. But I plan on it. Thanks.
First time I watch your channel, been following you on IG for a few months already. Love your way of filming bro, definitely subbing and notification gang 😎
I have a shower that the tile floor is worn. I'd like to know do i have to tear out the sub concrete floor and put a new liner? i just want to replace the floor tile. Thx
What if your red guard cracked. how can u fix that? I used triton backer board and mortar with fiberglass tape over seams and then redguard but it got flaky in certain areas and even chipped up a little not a bunch but I’m scared
Yeah, I was going to ask.... Do you ever use the Primer Coat? I'm about to apply to Hardiebacker, and had heard this was a necessary step, as indicated in this comment.
A few questions: Any reason you didn’t red guard the ceiling? Would it be appropriate to use on a shower pan? Lastly would you ever use a separate system like Schulter over top? Thanks!!!
I have a question. About the alkalinity of the tape and board. Wire tape doesn't interfere w the cement as far as alkalinity is concerned.. some.sort of chemical covering on it. Is fiberglass tape better ,?
DO NOT USE PREMIXED MORTAR OVER RED GUARD….even though every Home Depot and Lowe’s guy does. It says so in the Red Guard label AND premixed mortar labels!
Jesus, what, are you in the 90's?...Who still uses cement board? smh... Kudos for the good waterproofing though...I like the Mapei aqua defense...Better color.
Sorry bud but you can't read guard over taping mud what you did and you didn't do a three-to-one mix to make the primer and roll it with primer first sorry Nishi
It's fiberglass cloth, not tape / paper tape like for drywall. I think the idea is the redgard penetrates it and if there's any joint movements in the corners it is much less likely to crack because it's pretty much fiberglass reinforced *Edit* it's not fiberglass, but if you look at the link it's specifically designed for liquid membranes
Red hairs is a horrible product! Been using for years but have had fails. Look at tile coaches videos on it. He used in glass boss etc. it’s total crap

@@nca4794 just do it
Red Guard is amazing lol. I can smell it through the phone 😂😂

I've been looking for someone that made this simple. Thank you!
Great video. Please note RedGard recommends that the second coat be rolled on at 90 degree angle to the original coat to avoid the pin holes.
Great. I will share this with your mom
Perfect timing! Literally doing this to my shower this weekend. Thank you for the tips. I really appreciate the up close shots and the segment of the materials you'll need.
Yes! Awesome! Good luck. If you ever need help DM me

Great video. I like how detailed your videos are.
Nice video. Good narrating job. thanks for posting this content.
rockstar... great personality and info bruh!

Loved the video. Ready to prep my bath 🙂🙃
Keep on keeping on misha thank you so much
Red guard label states to dilute 1-4 parts with water to use as a primer, ?
Thanks Misha
You applied that over the cement board label.
Thanks for this video! I’m about to redguard my bathroom and it was very helpful. I do have 2 questions I hope you can help me with though.

Thank you so much in advance for your help!
Since he won’t answer I’ll do my best….I did not get any red guard on the ceiling under the assumption that spackle and/or paint won’t stick to it.
I’m 2 years late, I know. I fiberglass & this was interesting to me. Just have a question. Does it smell?
leaving the sticket on cement board gave me eye twitching
Thank you

Hey Misha. Nice vid!
May I suggest something… be sure to use a small mic on your pullover in your studio. It feels like u have to scream… :/
For how outrageously expensive it is, I hope it works…just put it in my walk-in shower.
Only thing is…how could you know how well it works unless you find out 5-10 years from now long after the fact?
I heard (and experienced) that redgard won't stick well to modified thinset (like versabond). What would you say about that?
What brand is the fiberglass band. HomeDepot doesn’t have anything like what you show in the video
What is the name of that tape you use?
Red Gard does not require fabric. Its not the instructions.
Well they have their own seam tape so..
That's interesting.
What kind of thinset is best to apply on waterproof membrane?
Love your work dude. Shocked you didn’t pull the durock stickers off… do u think it makes a difference?
Gotta take the stickers off bruh.
.......and Redgard SUX
@psyphen2286 well you don't have a TH-cam video content ,yet you bash this guy.. you sux
Always read the instructions before using product
Good.
Do you prefer the durock cement board? If wall is not perfectly straight do you redo wall to ensure plum?
Thanks!
If the walls are wavy and your talking about 3/8 of an inch or more difference in and out. You can float the wall. Or you redo the wood studs so when you put the durock on you don't have to worry about anything
Thanks for the video but what is the white thing on the cement board??
Good video, just found you. Question, on the bottom where you stopped the Durock on top of the tub flange you ran a bead of the Hydro Ban and smushed in in with your fingers, How do you deal with this unevenness when you tile? Do you just float the tile over it, fill it with thinset to even it out? P.S. I have never laid a piece of tile in my life. But I plan on it. Thanks.
So you mud all of your joints n screw holes?
Can I use RedGard over green board?
Do you still need to add adhesive to corners going up the wall even though you're about to apply redgard?
Hi you're good amigo 🙋♂️👍🇵🇷...
First time I watch your channel, been following you on IG for a few months already. Love your way of filming bro, definitely subbing and notification gang 😎
Yo thank you so much! Can’t tell you how much that means to me. I spend a lot of time on this video and you just validated it:) you rock
I have a shower that the tile floor is worn. I'd like to know do i have to tear out the sub concrete floor and put a new liner? i just want to replace the floor tile. Thx
How many gallons did u use
If I am doing a walk in shower can this mesh be used where the cement board meets the Kerdi shower tray? Or should I use kerdi band?
What is the name of the fabric ?
Do you remove the tubs plastic film before hydroban the flange?
What if your red guard cracked. how can u fix that? I used triton backer board and mortar with fiberglass tape over seams and then redguard but it got flaky in certain areas and even chipped up a little not a bunch but I’m scared
What type of waterproof coating is Redgard waterproof coating
What extra attention is given around the water lines?
I'll be tiling a shower with 3x6 subway tiles so can I use mastic on this product?
My seam tape is red, same thing? Thanks
Can I use the Schluter Kerdinband instead of the fiber fabric with the Red Guard?
Came here to ask the same thing. What did you end up doing?
Can I do this over plywood
Can you apply Redgard directly on drywall ?!
What are the white patches on the durock?
Any alternitives to hydroban
Just an FYI for anyone watching. This does not apply to hardibacker. Those boards require a primer coat
thank you for sharing that!
Yeah, I was going to ask.... Do you ever use the Primer Coat? I'm about to apply to Hardiebacker, and had heard this was a necessary step, as indicated in this comment.
@@bradpower5266 definitely use a primer coat. You run the risk of the hardie sucking the redgard dry and not adhering properly
@@eddiefromcali Good to know, Thank you.
I rolled on 4 coats.
A few questions:
Any reason you didn’t red guard the ceiling? Would it be appropriate to use on a shower pan? Lastly would you ever use a separate system like Schulter over top?
Thanks!!!
you only need this for wet areas or a steam room. Also i would not mix different shower systems:)
Where’s the video just before this step?
Can i use aquadefense on redgard?
How much red guard you need for shower?
So why don’t they come up with different colors. And since it’s waterproof we don’t need to tiled over it.
So you can see what you painted with out issue.
Why not go board?
Is it better using the thin set on the joints instead of this with the fiberglass strip?
both might be best
I have a question. About the alkalinity of the tape and board. Wire tape doesn't interfere w the cement as far as alkalinity is concerned.. some.sort of chemical covering on it. Is fiberglass tape better ,?
Cement board vs drywall? Can you red gard over drywall?
I never do. I believe you are supposed to prime it if you do. But I’m any wet area I would never put drywall.
"looking for pin holes" Hmmm, i think I'll stick to Schluter
I see you’re a fan of Scarface 😂
would you use RedGard for a steam shower, at least 2-3 coats?
The shit it expensive….use ALL of it….LOL
DO NOT USE PREMIXED MORTAR OVER RED GUARD….even though every Home Depot and Lowe’s guy does.
It says so in the Red Guard label AND premixed mortar labels!
Do you prefer durock over the other cement boards?
Yes i think it's great
you didn't prime the board!!! should have primered it first
3/4 nap roller ?
Jesus, what, are you in the 90's?...Who still uses cement board? smh... Kudos for the good waterproofing though...I like the Mapei aqua defense...Better color.
Sorry bud but you can't read guard over taping mud what you did and you didn't do a three-to-one mix to make the primer and roll it with primer first sorry Nishi
share you your mom, lol im actually going to
Learn how to use it, by never using it. Failure
Definitely do NOT install your tape with red guard!
How should the tape be affixed?
It's fiberglass cloth, not tape / paper tape like for drywall. I think the idea is the redgard penetrates it and if there's any joint movements in the corners it is much less likely to crack because it's pretty much fiberglass reinforced
*Edit* it's not fiberglass, but if you look at the link it's specifically designed for liquid membranes
Two seconds in, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS MAN! He has no clue what he is talking about. Skip and watch the others.
Shame on me for not subscribing? Shame on you for spouting garbage. Stopped watching at that point. Bye.
Red hairs is a horrible product! Been using for years but have had fails. Look at tile coaches videos on it. He used in glass boss etc. it’s total crap
What's the fabric name?
