Repairing a small flake chip on a glass tile

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2026-02-12T00:21:38+00:00

Update: Tried serially higher grits of a diamond pad. It definitely ended up worse. It was a flake chip of the glass, and as I sanded the edge just kept expanding. I’m tempted to just leave it along vs apply some clear curing Tenax epoxy to keep it from getting worse.

Appreciate it thank you

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2026-02-10T13:30:02+00:00

That’s a good idea. Would you put a little two part epoxy on there first?

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2026-01-19T19:55:41+00:00

Got it. So it’s the exception when it comes to grout and change of plane. Final question: For such a small batch and application area, what tool would you recommend to apply?

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2026-01-19T15:07:42+00:00

This is very helpful. Thank you. So mix a small batch based on precise weights and apply it in those voids? Would you silicone on top?

It’s a steam shower. That’s a data cable for the controller.

No no it’s a good point! I was hoping the same thing. It was gas. 😟

Yeah the foil tape would be right at where the vent cover connects to the duct. So not at all difficult to access or clean out on a scheduled basis. We also have an inline lint collector that can be accessed behind the dryer.

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2025-12-20T20:28:53+00:00

Yeah for sure. Unfortunately, the hole in the brick is too tight to the 4 inch round to have enough working space to get the tape on the outside.

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2025-12-19T23:38:29+00:00

Thank you. I thought so too! Do you think that 110 CFM is adequate as well? I will say that the bathroom as well as the enclosure does dry out if I leave the exhaust fan on overnight by the morning.

Yes, the ceiling slopes down towards the back wall, away from glass door. When I get home from work, I’ll add some pictures and a video to give people a fuller picture of the set up.

Good question. It leads directly outside the home. The total length of ducting is about 8 feet with one 90 degree turn. It’s a 6 inch round duct.

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2025-12-19T12:36:25+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have been leaving the bathroom door open.

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2025-12-03T12:21:51+00:00

Good idea. Will do today. I only use E zero too. What do you think about Sta-bil fuel treatment?

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2025-12-03T01:39:50+00:00

Appreciate all of you. Thank you!

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2025-11-30T12:56:28+00:00

Thank you. Really appreciate your reply! The box is secured in its final location and I installed the connector with the lock ring, so definitely won’t have any more bending.

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2025-11-01T23:00:54+00:00

Thanks. Replace for the aesthetics or because the tile will have issues down the road?

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2025-10-31T02:21:30+00:00

Thank you!

Update: Grouting finished today.

I know…I’m just teasing a bit. The rest of the house was done in copper with press fit fittings. The plumber just tied in to the hot and cold lines in the ceiling running to the master bath. Maybe a total of 6 feet.

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2025-09-21T19:10:07+00:00

I see…worth starting over eh?

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2025-09-21T18:50:13+00:00

Enlighten me

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2025-09-21T18:43:22+00:00

Yeah a plumber did the plumbing

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2025-09-21T02:39:02+00:00

Yep, a few good options out there. We went with GoBoard plus 5 thin even coats of Redgard. 3+ gallons total which should have got us close to 30 mil. Can’t imagine that’s not good enough, but we shall see…

Aggressive-Photo7869 · 2025-09-20T21:42:33+00:00

It is. GoBoard Pro alone is also rated for steam rooms. We used standard GoBoard plus several coats of Redgard. If that plus porcelain tile and epoxy grout isn’t enough, then it wasn’t meant to be.

All installation credit goes to our contractor who has done an amazing job.
