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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Fabric does not allow the membrane to dry, it’s too thick/dense

First time through I used Mapei Aqua defense. I taped all the corners and seams. I let it dry for a full 24 hours and they never fully dried. The cloth does not allow the membrane under it to fully dry. So then I thought it could be a crappy membrane. (I ended up removing all the taped seams because they peeled so easily due to it not being dry.I went and bought hydro-ban and tried again with that product. It is now the next morning and the same problem. If I poke a razor knife through the fabric, the inside is still not dry!The other Fiberglass mesh tapes are more transparent and thinner, and not such a dense cloth like this. No wonder the lacticrete version is double the price.

Pros
  • Very easy to use!! Better than the other ones!!!
Cons
  • May require additional layers for added protection
