bathtub wall surround install
I am installing a one piece tub surround over an existing tub. I have removed the old tile and and the damaged portion of the drywall to the studs. The existing drywall, that is not damaged is 3/8" thick. My question is, since I am installing a one peice tub surround, do you need to install the green water resistant drywall behind it? If so I may need to do more demolition, as the green drywall only seems to be manufactured in 1/2". Is there a sealer I can use instead of the green drywall? Thanks in advance for any advice!
