Great video but after doing my first couple of tile jobs while renovating my house I would say don’t cheap out on either they will both make the job go easier for a beginner
Hi, Thanks for your great videos. I’m a diyer and wanted to know which thinset would you recommend to install 12x24 tiles over Kerdi in a shower. Could you use anything else than Schluter’s own thinset? Thanks!
According to Schluter no 😆 I personally like Ardex x5 the best for those. Ardex warrants their thinset over Schluter As for membrane application though….I would stick to Schluter for their warranty
Great video. Do you got a video or could explain what is the best way to go about this. I'm going to set my curb for the shower, but I got glass doors that has hardware that goes on the shower curb. The shower set up is 2 walls, that will be tiled, and then a 2 wall glass door setup. I don't know exactly how the hardware goes just yet (in shipping), but after thinking about it, I'm worried the screw holes for when I attach the hardware to the shower curb, will all water to penetrate from the screws. What would you do in this situation? I was planning on using Kerdi board on the walls, and was thinking of using it for the curb as well but will probably just go with a curb made from block, so if I do screw into it, it won't expand like wood would if it got wet. Any advice would be great.
So you can do this a couple of ways to avoid problems. One would be to get a curb that allows screw penetration. My favorite is the kbrs hardcurb - amzn.to/44SQ002
The other alternative is to cut screws & use epoxy glue for the tracks. Similar to what I did in this video - czcams.com/video/Eb75cWsSlw4/video.html&si=nBeuFf2dcNK1Npzs
Is this finger swipe like an east coast thing I’m genuinely curious, I never intentionally want to even touch thinset dries your hands out too much, my wife doesn’t like that part. Inch and half Margin trowel my man is like a hammer to a framer, an extension of your finger in this case. If you can find one get on.
Thanks before CZcams getting a birds-eye view of a tradesman working was almost impossible everyone kept the Trade a Secret LOL

Hey Steve, Would a better saw blade make a difference with this type of saw?
Yes for sure 👍 for ceramic or stone tiles, I don’t think it would make a difference, but for hard porcelain tiles it would

😆 it could be an east coast thing, might just be me 😆 margin trowel definitely better 👍
