I'm not able to get a satisfactory answer from the home improvement store. For general drywall repair, including embedding tape, and panel replacement (my intended use) I dont see a big difference between USG green lid General Purpose mud and USG Soquete. The Soquete seems to tout "lighter", but I guess that appeals to someone holding a mud tray all day long.
Based on my needs above, is there really an advance of one over the other? There are just soooooo many choices on USG site to pick from for a mud choice.
After much deliberation, I have decided to remodel our bathroom myself. First major project for me.
When I started demo, I noticed that the walls are wood lath and plaster and tiles on top.
The wood lath has rot in a handful places.
Question is, should I remove the lath completely and install drywall or attach the tiles on it ?
If latter, how do I handle the rotted areas ?
For the shower, I am planning to use panels. I guess I will need to remove the lath in that area ?
