Hello all!
I am a first time DIY tiler and had three questions. For context, I finished two walls of my bath/shower with mapei keraflex S1 on jackoboard (Porcelain tile) and now I’m at the end of the bath.
1st- the window wall is brick with sand and cement and a skim coat. Do I need to tank and prime this wall?
2nd- If so, do I use primer g first and then tank (was going to just use the leftover jackoboard tanking membrane) ? Or do I use the tanking membrane first and the primer g after?
3rd- I mitered the edges of the tile in the niches. They go from pretty standard porcelain tile to handmade ones (with wonky edges). Can I use silicone to fill this in? I feel like if I use epoxy, it will chip the tile when I go to shave it with my knife
Thank you in advance and sorry for the poor spelling!
