Wasted effort to do seams on a countertop. IMO, YMMV.

wrong stuff. Something about i had to suitable for the pH?

Yes, it is different. The backerboard stuff won't deteriorate with
the thinset. They usually have it close to the backerboad in the tile

Sounds like the way they put the same cleaners into jugs that say "driveway
