Waterproof Joints and Fasteners

[Music] now i've crunched the numbers between using this stuff and the cement board you're only gonna save for a shower this size roughly around 100 bucks so for 120 bucks more i kind of splurged and got a product that's very easy to work with i could basically do this all in one day the next step would be now is to waterproof these joints and these screw holes here to do that we use the kerdi schluter waterproofing membrane it's in a roll something like this is about 18 bucks or so and we're gonna use a thin set an unmodified thinset apparently has something to do with the drying and curing time then the trowel is a quarter inch v-groove trial we're going to put a layer on roll this stuff on and then use the back end of this or you know a drywall knife and press out squeegee out everything in there so it's got nice strong adhesion uh and we also have to cover the screw holes as well um mixing up my thinset i've always do it in the consistency of like sour cream or ketchup the nice thing is because we don't have any crazy cuts we're not even going to whip out a tablespoon we're just going to use a simple tile cutter i think these things are like 40 50 bucks makes a nice earring cut and then snap it in place and then it creates a nice crisscut i'll show you why you can talk i'll show you so let's go [Music] [Applause] [Music]
