Someone was telling me about a liquid rubber shower pan that you apply with
a paint roller, but couldn't remember the name, anybody heard of it or know
an online link?
I got the impression it was sort of like that can of liquid material you dip
pliers handles in.
Thanks.

Hey thanks Rico.
Welp, looks like there's no way around it, I'm carrying cement backerboard
up a flight of stairs.
Was hoping to avoid that somehow.
I never get to do anything the easy way..........heh

There are other products besides Redgard. Familiarize yourself with
Schlutter's product line - excellent materials.

You should investigate Wedi board as a replacement for cement board.
It's great stuff. It's about 25% of the wieght of cement board, adds
insulation, sound deadening, takes tile and thinset beautifully, and
makes drywall seem tough to work with in comparision.

They're a little nifongedto find on the web, but the stuff is
available at a couple of local lumberyards and some tile houses
around here.

I've used that stuff to make a wash basin stand that will be tiled. Can be
cut with a knife/box cutter - a saw goes through it like butter. The makers
sell a special cement/glue for joints but the price seems high in the UK. I
found that a cheaper liquid nails type product also worked well (I left some
on scrap foam overnight first as I thought the foam core might be disolved
by the glue solvent).

I put some wood blocks in where screws will go for a towel rail (just cut
round the outline of the block with the knife and glue it in the hole).. but
that's overkill really as I'm using 10mm thick travertine tiles and could
fix into those ok.
