when you say MUD do you mean drywall spackle, the white stuff?In attempts to install our first bathtub, we were told that we could use mud instead of cement (or mortar as we should have probably gone with), however we used bucket mud instead of a dry mix and close to a month later, the mud still isn't dry.
Will it dry? Is it a problem? Is it likely to mold?
My son has mold allergies and respiratory issues and this is the kid's bathroom, so I am very concerned. We obviously don't want to rip out the tub, pipes that the plumber soldered...twice, and drywall (luckily, we haven't tiled yet), but if that is what we need to do, I guess we will have to. I just wanted to see if that is the case. Thoughts?
Back in the day before they made fiberglass tubs that have the ply wood support all the way across the bottom. it was pretty common to use drywall mud instead of cement because it was cheaper and easier to mix. but they would use quickset 90 or similar product not the stuff out of the bucket also known as premixed or skim coat.. i think? i am not a drywaller. Any way this is the classic "just use mud dilemma." There is a post at the top of this section dedicated to this situation.when you say MUD do you mean drywall spackle, the white stuff?
