I am in the process of gathering product for a shower wall project. Basically a Swanstone shower wall kit to a Backer Board probably Wedi or Wonderboard. There seems to be a lot of choices for adhesives. Silicone seems to be one of the primary choices. In the Swanstone documentation they stated that GE 100% Silicone was not supported. I contacted them and they said that was outdated Documentation and now it is supported. I know that some important things to consider is working and setup time on the adhesive. My fear is that working by myself, by the time I get the whole sheet covered and attached to the wall the adhesive will start setting up and cause issues. Also there seems to be two types of Silicone , Acetoxy versus Neutral Cure.
So basically what do you use in this type of an install and what are the things to watch out for. I am open for any brands or choices that are recommended.
Also Swan recommends 6 inch circles of adhesive 6 inches apart on the whole sheet but some on the forums say they use a notched trowel and cover the whole thing.
Thanks
