Thanks all for considering my question. I’ve done a few Schluter installs successfully (so far), and switched to Flo Fx on my most recent project given Isaac’s enthusiasm for the drain. Application is Kerdi on mud with a Flo Fx drain. I used Kerdi Fix to seal the kerdi to the Flo Fx drain. I’m noting something I’ve never seen with Schluter drains : fully several hours after use, there exists a circle of moisture (grout is “damp”) extending 2.5 to 3 inches away from the drain on all sides. Schluter drains are sloped, whereas Flo Fx is flat. Yes, Flo Fx has weep holes, but even if thinset got in the way of those weep holes, thinset is a porous material, so that shouldn’t cause this (me thinks).

I bought my first snap and score cutter for a bathroom I am doing. It is a Rubi 24" speed magnet. It works great but has an issue that is making it difficult to make really precise cuts. The metal ridge down the center of the cutter is not flat from one end to the other. It is low at each end and arcs to a peak in the middle. If I put a straight edge on the ridge, I can fit a 1/32" shim under each end of the straight edge while the straight edge just touches the ridge at its center point. Is this normal? The hump is making it difficult to place a 24" tile in it and keep it from moving/shifting as I score the tile. Thanks, Roger

I need to apply tile backer board to a solid wall that isnt plumb. Can cement board be wet shimmed to something like that?

I just ordered a custom pan from Tile redi waiting on my drawings for me to sign off on i got there new square drain with this one. (Used the tile couch coupon code)

Was watching your latest tile ready pan video and notice you said the new square drain fits the flo fx drain grates. How is is this accomplished since there drain is made into the pan.

do you need the Flow FX grate carrier to bond to the pan or something else?
