Very cool seeing a woman that’s handy doing this. I’m currently redoing my bathroom and at the same point you are at. The only thing I did different was putting the cement board on top of the tub lip instead of shimming all the 2x4s. I fiber tapped and cemented the space at the bottom. This way my cement board meets up evenly with the sheet rock.
What a joy to see another capable woman! Most women doing DIY are such airheads. You make me proud, gal! Also very glad to see this MAPEI product. I did not know they made a waterproof sealant paint. MAPEI is an Italian company. I love their Polymer for Thinset Mortar and Grout Maximizer sealant for grout that rubberizes both and ensures no cracking, no water leaks which is especially good for an RV application. I have to do my RV bathroom and here comes MAPEI to the rescue again! None of the tiles I installed have ever popped out of my RV despite the vibrations.
Hi, I’m gonna do this on Monday. Did the aqua defender stick well to the silicone? I’m debating between silicone and polyurethane sealant for my wall to shower flange gap.
It will not stick to silicone. The Lexel caulk that I used isn't silicone. Honestly I am not sure what it is, but it is paintable, and the waterproofing did stick to it. Hope that helps.
Love seeing women doing things like this, gives me hope that I can do it also. Thanks girl!!!
You can! There are so many good video tutorials out there. Just watch a few of them and then give it a shot.

Ill fly over and tile your bathroom for you haha.
Awesome to see you on the tools

Never sit backer board directly on bath rather on lip to prevent durock from getting wet , tile then goes on bath minus grout line to caulk
It appears to be 1/4 off the tub and thus the sealant was pushed into that seam. Looked like it was done right to me.
Where do you get the fabric?
I’m not 100% sure the membrane material for the seams is required with this product. I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt anything though.
What did you first use filling joints

@@CountryGirlLiving oh ok, good to know. I used a poly and it all went well. LePage 2 in 1 seal and bond for any Canadians watching:)
Did you use both of those buckets of the Mapei for that shower?
I think I used one and a half. It has been about two years, so I can't remember exactly.
No primer before Aquadefense?
I don’t believe it calls for a primer, redguard does though I think.
Nice job! I wish my wife could have done it for us XD. Question: is necessary to put fabric tape over waterproofing layer?
I am sure there are several different ways to do it. After researching, this is the method I settled on.
Can the liquid waterproofing cure properly underneath the fabric tape?
Seament???
Bless your heart....

Why is she working in the dark?

That's a really good job however the Schluter system is so much better
Hydroban system all day. Lol
Goboard is even better and cheaper. Does the same thing as the schluter wall board. Sold at menards
