The shower wall transition to drywall isn't flush.
Hi there:
I'm in the process of diying a full bathroom despite having no prior experience. I'm taking great care to ensure that I'm doing things correctly, such as leveling uneven surfaces and building a leak-free shower. However, I have a few questions:
1. After sealing the foam board joints, screws, and washers with caulk sealant, I have noticed some bumps and lumps on the walls. How should I address this issue?
2. The drywall is flat with foam board in the middle, but the top and bottom are off by 1/4" to 3/8". How should I do the transition between the shower foam board and drywall with this discrepancy? Should I use caulk sealant on the seam?
3. I will be installing tiles halfway in the rest of the bathroom. Should I use drywall mud or thin-set to float it out? If thin-set is recommended, which type do you suggest?
Kerdi, and I'm sure others, make transition edging. It is right angle stock intended to give your tile an edge. There may be a version that is wide enough to cover the kerdi board and your tile. It will give a finished look to the edge and cover the difference.
