I've removed the tiles and sheet rock from my bathroom walls and have the studs exposed. I've currently got 1/2" hardibacker ready to install and I have to fur out the studs to match the hardibacker up to the old 5/8" drywall. Questions:
1. Where the hardibacker meets the old drywall should I use the regular drywall tape or the fiberglass mesh type tape?
2. Will regular joint compound adhere to the hardibacker?
3. Should I return the hardibacker and get a 5/8" mold resistant drywall to make my life easier?
Thanks
