Silicon them before you tank - it won't hurt

You will use the dunlop rubber solution first then stick the fibre glass to it then coat over again, I've used an old paint brush before

yes mate Silicon is the best choice

Just used a Sovereign Watertite tanking kit on a wetroom today and was massively impressedthe tape was a doddle to use with the tanking liquid and the liquid itself was probably the best I've used to date with regards application albeit a pale blue colour which blinds you after a while:lol:

How much did that cost you mate

Hi, shower is 1100x700, mainly aquaboard and a bit of normal plasterboard skimmed.



Thanks 🙂

hi mate
just tape aquaboard joints with tanking tape, Silicon gap between shower tray and aquaboard, for pasteboard use first primer and then apply PCI Lastogum tanking system, or Bal wp1 waterproofing coating, and will be ready to tile
Good luck ! :hurray:

Well hooray for Silicon what if he ends up using a tape that is unstable used with Silicon why not joint properly so you also have strength ???

Climb down off your high horse mate 😛rrr:, I was merely suggesting siliconing the joints prior to taping and tanking to give a seal underneath the tanking :smilewinkgrin: there is ALWAYS what ifs and why fors but I can only work with what I am told :mad2:

Homelux matting from Topps or CTD £31+vat....Superor to a paint on kit

There are correct ways to do tanking,Silicon should have nothing do do with the tanking process , Learn from your mistakes and get of your high horse:lol::lol:

I'd go for a mat system, homelux or kirdi, something along those lines
