I am wanting to ceramic tile above a new tub and the wall is now uncovered drywall. Can this be used to waterproof prior to tile mastic?

I've heard to tile a ceiling is a bit tricky because the tiles may start falling on your head before you're even done with the surface. With large tiles you can apply mortar thread/bead in a spiral motion starting from the middle so when you press them against the ceiling the air can escape and the entrance is sealed (supposedly). Since I had 1x1 ft. sheets of 2x2" tiles I decided not to take any chances and just sealed the ceiling and walls with the green goop before applying water resistant white ceiling paint on the ceiling and tiles on walls. It's recommended to prime new drywall for better adherence of other products. I remodeled that bathroom one year ago, so far the tiles are still dead-on, no color seeping through grout from the goop. Two coats create a nice water resistant film which when dried is slightly rubbery to the touch. I liked the product and will use it again on the 3rd bathroom. Good luck with your project!

unable to answer that question, I only used to ceramic tile and works super.

I don't know why it would be used under porcelain. I used it under wood, but not under my tile.

We've used on on a ceramic tile shower, a cultured marble wall, and now in our RV which is some type of fiberglass shower stall. The back-to-back glue works incredible well, we actually had to work hard to get it off the cultured marble wall, then used Bar Keep to clean off the residue.

do you mean ceramic tile? I would not. you would need to buy a special wheel and it would be hard to hold small pieces safely . Better to rent a wet saw from a tool rental for a few hours and make sure you don't get cut. I always try to think safety first. Thye wet blades does not chip the edges of the tile and has a guide so you can use a push stick and not your fingers.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean ... You waterproof your wall & seams with the Laticrete and then you apply your thinset or whatever you choose, just as you would laying regular tile, then apply your tile. Does that help. This is very thin. It sure waterproofs well, though. :-) I agree with Mike. MUST waterproof your shower thoroughly. When I tore my shower out, I discovered they had simply used regular sheetrock with no waterproofing under the tiles. Needless to say, all my allergies and health issues were most likely directly related to the 4 -5 inch black mold creeping up the walls. I'm hoping for a better health year.

I'm sure you could as long as it was secured sufficiently as not to allow movement and consequential cracking of the primer&paint.;I think you might want to also look at Z-channel and another layer of drywall with sound proofing insulation in between.I guess it depends if this is permanent,(ie. your house/condo) as opposed to an apartment.Here is a good website that I learned from....http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/how-tosKevin

Oh yeah absolutely, I used it to cut out pieces of plaster wall and ended up with nice clean lines (LOTS of dust, so you need ventilation and mask). I assume the tile "may" give you a bit more resistance? (depending on the type of tile, maybe not), but also probably less dust. I did the plaster wall dry, but could have used the water attachment if I wasn't too concerned about getting the surrounding area wet. If water is an issue you can probably use it dry like I did if you're not too worried about the blade wearing out quickly, or else use the water on a very low flow. I've used this to cut plaster (dry) and granite (wet), in both cases it cut like butter. Very pleased with this saw.

Personally, I think you would be better off using some silicone cement or 'RTV'. This stuff is very aggressive and expands rapidly and can be difficult to remove if you get it on you or the rest of the tub. Something like this maybe: http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-80050-Silicone-Adhesive-Sealant/dp/B0002UEPVI/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1413906951&sr=1-1&keywords=silicone+cement

It doesn't matter. Caulking is waterproof by nature the problem is that grout is not waterproof. This helps seal the grout. If you used quality caulk you will be fine. Basically caulk doesnt need a sealer.

It may be possible to do so, but mine is mounted on the wall and tiled around (tile first, but leave one side untiled so the cornerpiece can be slipped into place without fighting the tile, unless you have huge grout lines). The tile should dry first because the cornerpiece needs to be held in place with tape while it dries in place. I really like how it looks.

I have unsealed ceramic tile but the grout is sealed in my basement, kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room I use 1 cap full to a gallon of water. I hope that helps...

I'd use the primer for it before doing so, but I see no reason it can't be after that, as thats what I did. But you'd also want to "level" the joints in the existing tile before you do, so its not as simple as peel and stick if you want it right.

With mastic adhesive it will work fine. It has a flat stainless panel that can could be adhered to the tile. If you don't want it to be permanent, just pick an adhesive that is removable.

there is no need to use it on ceramic or porcelain tile as they are both made of non absorbent material (they've been sealed by being fired). You only need to use it on the grout.

Hi Tom,Thank you for your query. No, the adhesive will not damage your tiles and can be removed using warm water and a scraper. Also it will not damage marble tiles. Elevease comes with simple instructions and once followed will not in any way damage your shower environment .Kind regards Dave

Do not use on colored ceramic tile, as it dries with a milky finish. The problem using it in a shower is this. Almost any soap or shampoo that comes in contact with the Neverwet finish will dissolve the Neverwet coating, leaving the surface unprotected and prime for mold growth unless the Neverwet is immediately re-applied. Most soaps and shampoos will dissolve the finish.I hope that this is helpful.
