As I prepare to install the new jetted tub I just bought from Kohler, I harken back to the disaster created by the tiling flange in the post I saw here
https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/cover-tub-flange.61556/#post-455922
Here are photos of the tiling flanges on the alcove-installation tub Kohler shipped to me.
I don't see how I can expect anything but broblems given the irregular, tapered thickness at the recurved tops of these flanges.
Given this variation in thickness/width of the recurve, the tiling flange along the back side (long side) of the tub is 5/8" WIDER than at the narrowest point. God only knows how a tile is supposed to overhang that extra thickness.
Dare I try to take a sander or a grinder to this acrylic surface? And WHY should I have to?
I had to postpone this bathroom reno once, when it took EIGHT WEEKS to get delivery of this tub. I'd hate to have to do it again.
