Can anyone help?
Im redoing my shower/tub, but one side of the tub, the side where the valve is, sits about 1/2 inch away from the studs. So, when i go to put the backerboard on, it will sit on the lip of the tub. I believe the lip is suppose to be behind the backerboard and then i leave the backerboard 1/4 inch off the tub.
So my question is....do i just bring the backerboard down to the top of the tub lip? A friend suggested thats what I should do. He then said to fill the 1/2 inch below the backerboard up with the thin set mastic. Then tile over it and run the tile to the tub.
The lip I'm talking about is about a 1/2 inch up from the tub. This is where you nail the lip to the studs. The other sides are okay, just 1 side is way from the studs 1/2 inch.
Sooo...does that sound okay? Run backerboard to the lip, then fill the 1/2 inch below the backerboard with thin set mastic....then run my tile all the way down to the tub...
Any help is appreciated!...thanks
