Dammit and absurdbird, seeing as I got such a great response the other day I just wanted to check something with you before I move on. Below is a pic of my first aquapanel job which I did yesterday. Didn't do the whole bathroom, but had to box in some pipes and more. I am quite pleased with it, but that is not to say its 100% perfect.
My questions:
1) There are a few minor gaps here and there as the walls aren't perfectly straight plus that the board crumbled a bit around some of the screws. No gaps are wider than a millimeter and none are longer than a few centimeters (the picture shows the worst area). Is this a big problem?
2) When I set it up I generously filled these little indents, cracks and gaps with sealant (the one that came with the board) but would plaster have been better? I need to go over them a second time so it's the choice between more sealant or moving onto plaster.
3) Lastly, will there be issues with the plaster not sticking properly to where the sealant is? It feels very rubbery? I suppose I could cover all the sealant patches with the joint tape that came with the boards if that helps.
