I am installing this shower kit and realized that I should not have primed and painted the mildew resistant drywall, but that ship has sailed.
The instructions suggest some adhesives and the company has confirmed this via emails, while also suggesting this product:
I can find users getting responses from Loctite on adhering to painted drywall and they make sure to note that it needs to be porous. All answers suggest either sanding to rough up the surface or to remove the paint entirely. I used a satin finish paint but it doesn't seem that glossy to me. Does anyone have any experience with this? How rough would the surface need to be?
I am pondering setting up a test with a spare piece of drywall and a piece of acrylic sheet or plexiglass. I also wonder if simply using 100% silicone would suffice.
