was never recommended for wet locations.

I think it was at one time, then another product was blue board,
later.

Damp, yes. Wet, no. Blue board is better but still not acceptable.
Before cementatious board, tile was done with lathe and mortar.


Nonsense. Many of tile jobs with a tub & shower were done on plain ole
drywall in the 70's.

They were. They all fell apart in a decade. It was never a
recommended use of drywall. Learn something, sometime.
