Review on 8” X 75 Ft EPDM Waterproofing Membrane Sheet Tape For Underlayment Tile, Shower Cement Board Protection - XFasten by Tanner Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for using on shower project.

Decided to DIY my shower project since prices were way too high for something I could do myself. Had to redo the shower because the home builder (well, the tile folks who installed the shower), did it incorrectly and we had leaks. I researched how to do the project and YouTube has a lot of good information. I found one video using a product like this with a waterproofing compound so I bought this brand. I used it with AquaDefense and it worked great. I first installed the concrete panels and then used a mesh tape and thinset to bond everything. After it was dry, I applied a layer of AquaDefense and while it was wet, put this material over it. I precut the pieces and had all the cuts for folding and bending already set so the installation was faster. Once this product was installed, I recoated the top to allow it to suck up the waterproofing. After letting it day, I applied a second coat and it worked very well.For those 1 star reviews claiming this isn't waterproof, duh. it doesn't claim to be. This is meant to be used with a waterproofing compound like RedGuard, AquaDefense or others. I didn't find it too thin or too thick. It was perfect for it's intended purpose.

Pros
  • Used to waterproof shower walls
Cons
  • May be more expensive compared to other similar products
