I posted this on the JB forum. But Mr. Red Sneaker had to respond with his usual drivel. You would think by now he would know that I don't want to hear from him. But apparently he knows no boundaries.
I'm ready to tile the bottom row of tile for the bath tub. It's a Kohler, acrylic tub, the flange is about 1" high.
I brought the Hardi Backer board down to within about 3/16" of the flange. Then I caulked the gap with 100% silicone. The Hardi Backer is even (vertically with the flange). Also I'm using Adrex X77, so I don't think that extra inch is going to make a difference - it's 12 x 12 tile.
Should I use thinset on the flange area? Could there be a possibility of a slight movement between the tub and the wall, that would stress the tile?
