Hello to all!!
I'm in the process of redoing a bathroom. I want to replicate the "mud" job look with cove molding and mud cap.
On the wainscot my approach is to apply wonder board at 41" hgt over existing wall and tile over that. In the tub area I can pop off the existing 4x4 tiles circa 1970 and the thought is to apply wonder board over existing sheet rock in this area to continue the wainscot surface into the tub area with the same mud cap.
Plan is to thinset the wonder board to all existing wall surfaces - screw into all joists @ 6"c/c.
Not being an expert, will this approach prove successful?
The existing tub area sheet rock, though old, is in sound condition. Would a layer of plastic sheeting be advised under wonder board in this area?
Will the mud cap install correctly??? K_C
