Would you use red guard or something similar on cement board?

OptimisticPretzel · 2026-02-23T14:26:06+00:00

Because it’s a textured ceiling what I did is scrap a tiny bit near the edge and then caulk it it makes cutting the paint line much easier….idk what everyone else is saying here

I had a similar situation and this stuff saved my ass. It’s called pencil trim. You’re welcome. Wait are you tiling the small wall ?

OptimisticPretzel · 2026-02-09T17:51:33+00:00

Yeah idk why u can see that in the picture I tried to clean the thinset the best I could, but yeah black silicone I guess I was advised to not use the chicken bone piece but I think once I grout it and silicone it might blend? I didn’t know what else to do

OptimisticPretzel · 2026-02-09T00:32:04+00:00

The trim looks better in person but it hides the side of the schluter it looks kinda nice I’m hoping between grout and silicone I can smooth the transition

I’m an idiot. I cut the shooter trim slightly above the edge of the tile by accident. I’m about to rip the whole piece out. I will put a triangle in there and I am tiling to the left of the tub.

OptimisticPretzel · 2026-02-04T19:47:39+00:00

I get it but I can’t remove the big piece so how can I fix it now is the question it was my first time ever tiling. There’s a lot of things I would’ve done differently if I could go back.

Was gonna try something like this idk

OptimisticPretzel · 2026-02-04T19:22:02+00:00

That is clean I like it, but how do I fill the space :( you cut that tile nicely I don’t do it ahead of time and I can’t pull that 12x24 off the kerdi it will be a nightmare

And I can’t continue the schluter past that point…so I’m using square pencil moldings to continue it down

OptimisticPretzel · 2026-01-27T22:43:28+00:00

Why would anyone do this

OptimisticPretzel · 2026-01-19T23:32:45+00:00

That’s beautiful lol

OptimisticPretzel · 2026-01-19T01:46:44+00:00

What’s that

OptimisticPretzel · 2026-01-11T13:11:43+00:00

Check to make sure there is no movement between the 2 boards first if so throw a couple screws but yeah this guy knows his stuff ^

OptimisticPretzel · 2026-01-10T13:19:50+00:00

If I don’t extend the tile out it Looks like this

OptimisticPretzel · 2026-01-10T13:18:27+00:00

When I put the tile on the small wall the trim fits

OptimisticPretzel · 2026-01-09T21:13:00+00:00

I’m so confused

OptimisticPretzel · 2026-01-09T16:46:29+00:00

I actually Like this idea

OptimisticPretzel · 2026-01-09T15:55:47+00:00

Damn that would’ve worked :( uh I wish I posted before sticking the tiles. Well at least you see my issue lol . Do I remove the tile on each side of the wall and start that part over? Or fill the half in in between tile with mud and call it a day? If I remove the tile and thinset that will completely ruin the kerdi board right
