I used regular (type x) 5\8" drywall on the ceiling above the shower. The ceiling previously had 1\2" plywood with cellulose ceiling tiles (no shower). I removed the tiles and attached the drywall to the ceiling joists (24" spacing) and the plywood. I used mesh tape at the seam at first but after reading opinions on mesh tape and premix joint compound, I added paper tape over the mesh (tapered joint).
Will this be okay (paper tape and premix)? I figured the drywall is paper anyway so paper tape should not increase the mold risk. I am using zinnseir primmer and two coats of ceiling paint with Krud cutter antimold additive.
Thanks
