Ok, bunch of questions for everyone:
1) Does anybody have any experience with aqua glass tub surrounds?
I have bought the TW78440A (Vista) Tub-Shower Wall Kit, here is a link with more info http://www.aquaglass.com/PDFs of literature/Wall Kits and Shower Kits.pdf
2) Are they fairly sturdy once installed?
3) I plan on doing the bottom half of the surround with durock and then the top half with greenboard, leaving me with room to paint above the surround. Is this the way to go?
4) Also when painting a bathroom do you use specific primer for areas that will get wet like inside the shower and close to the tub? I saw kilz latex with mildew protection, should I use that? I was planning on using the high gloss paint, for the area as it is more resistant to water.
5) When spackling the two boards together do I use normal joint compound or would another product be better?
Thank you so much for anyone who takes time out of their day to answer these questions, It is greatly appreciated. Also, I am sorry for the quantity of questions as I want to try to cover all of my bases.
