I agree with you on the Hydroban (Just starting to see it when I left). Only used it about 5 times and I was at the stage of not using the 9235 so much because of it. Love the colour change.Do think it needs more than one layer though.

Roger, the guys on the forums tell me that hot mops are still king in socal. I've never seen one in person. I did tear out a few showers from the 1950's that were nothing more than a few layers of roofing paper :yikes:. I'm amazed that they lasted as long as they did.

I don't know anything about the poultry netting. Again, that must be a East Coast/West Coast thing. The only times I have seen it have been in books and videos by Michael Byrne.

I agree with you about Hydroban-we go with three coats and usually with fabric in the corners, even though Laticrete says otherwise.

Agree with you totally on the Hydroban. Chicken wire was pretty standard just some cities having lath codes and inspections. I use to like hot mops but the build up and the potential cracking swayed me away. Oh and the smell. A tile friend from New York said that the eml that they are getting at the moment has a tendancy to rust and blow out the tile. A couple of call backs within the year for blown dams. Having to waterproof the float to protect the eml now.

Roger, I last bought EML from a masonry supplier, and it was the good stuff. Some of this EML I see at Home Depot and Lowes is pure crap and almost certainly from China. When my current stock runs out I will be sure to find more good lath and hopefully avoid the problems your friend in NY has been seeing.

Pretty sure it is from China too. Another problem that nobody should have to deal with.
