revelation Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 We are looking to joint our cement boards with some wedi tape (pictured) around the shower and bath areas. What is the best stuff to use to bed it? Is the Wedi 610/620 necessary as it is expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfromwales Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Avoid the 610, it's the work of the devil. Literally NEVER cures and whatever you get it on, cannot EVER be cleaned off. Any of the tanking solutions will be fine. Paint all the areas first, allow to dry ( it'll dry very quickly ), and keep going until you have a decent layer built up. You then need to wallop a load of it where the strip will go, and immediately bed it into the wet solution. Use a 3" paintbrush to squeegee the excess solution outwards to the edges / ends, and brush the excess out and flat. Repeat until you're happy.
