moisture resistant on both sides of wall?

MrVivekB

Newbie DIYer here. I'm putting an addition on our house to add a closet to a room. The other side of the new closet is a bathroom. I bought a few pieces of moisture resistant drywall but just learned about the problem using it on exterior walls along with vapor barrier insulation.

I'm closing off a window in that bathroom as part of the project. Can I use the moisture resistant stuff on both sides of the 2x4 studs or is that also a mold vulnerability? I now own 3 pieces of that stuff I don't need, so I'm hoping there's some way I can salvage some value. If not, I'll chalk it up to the cost of a DIY lesson learned.

Thanks for any help.

No, do not use on the outside of the structure.

Sorry wasn't clear. This is going to be an interior wall, bathroom on one side closet on the other. Is that still bad?

Fix'n it

i don't see a problem with that. as both sides should be about the same temp.

Cool, thanks. Now maybe I should do another unplanned project somewhere with the extra sheetrock :-)
