OT -- Backer board question
Number one son drafted me to help remodel a bathroom. It has a sloped
ceiling over the tub and we need to put up some new backerboard over the existing gypsum wallboard. The rafters are on 24 inch centers and only two are positioned right -- one on the right edge, one 24 inches to the left -- for screwing in the 45 inch wide backerboard. Question -- can I use liquid nails to attach the left end and expect it to hold up once he affixes his tile? TIA Larry |

I think the proper way to do it would be to install furring strips perpendicular to the rafters, then screw the cement board to those. -- * -MIKE- * "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" * * *--Elvin Jones *(1927-2004) * -- *http://mikedrums.com * * ---remove "DOT" ^^^^ to reply I agree. |

It is very unlikely that you'll get it stiff enough to handle the tile, and all it takes is one little flex to pop it. I'd drop the drywall and add framing members as necessary, then affix the Wonderboard or Hardibacker to it, seal, and tile. Figure an extra couple hours for that, but it's done right. -- It's a great life...once you weaken. --author James Hogan |

TIA Larry Hack away a horizontal strip of gypsum and replace it with 1/2" plywood across the studs as a nailer , cut the strip of plywood first and use it as a guide for hacking. |
