Hi all. I'm new here and looking for some advice before I get a plasterer in.
I'm redoing a bathroom in my house. The walls needed taking back to brickwork and I have fitted studwork to the walls. I'm in the process of boarding out the room with Marmox board. At the joints of the boards in the shower area I have done as recommended and used Wedi 610 sealant. The boards are attached to the studwork with screws through Marmox metal washers. Some of the boards will need skimming and I'm wondering what I need to with the screw heads and washers. In wet areas it is recommended that Wedi 610 is spread over each screwhead/washer to maintain waterproofness before tiling over.
The marmox boards are forming the vapour barrier in the room and I would have thought all screw holes should be treated the same with 610 to maintain the vapour barrier's integrity. I'd like to know if the plaster skim will stick to the washers if they've been covered with Wedi 610? Thanks
