Underlayer board installation
Hello all,
I am soon to embark on the great tiling o my bathroom project, but have a question about installing the cement underboard. So here is what I think I need to do then perhaps I could be corrected?
Clean and scrape floor, to the subfloor. A layer of qwickset on the entire floor as level as possible, wait 24 hours and install the cement underlayer. Wait 24 hours then begin to lay the tile. 2 foot sections at a time, wait 48 hours and put in grout wait 72 hours and seal grout and clean.
This is all info I have gotten at home depot and seems to go against what I have read.
Any ideas?
thanks,
tren

Any Ideas? ..Yeah..don't listen to what they say at Home Depot! ...don't understand the quickset idea at all ..your cement board should be set in a bed of thin set, and then fastened to the floor....you can install the tile right away..no need to wait 24 hrs..after the tile has set(overnight) you can start grouting. It will say on the bottle of sealer how long you should wait....but it should be clean before you seal it..not seal and clean as you mentioned
