Does the amount of movement depend at all on the type and thickness of

Look underneath those tables. :-)


Fair enough. But I think there must be more to it than that. If
sufficient sealing eliminated the problem, people would do it,
wouldn't they?



You are not going to stop movement, a good finish will simply reduce the
amount if you spill a glass of water in the joint.
