I hope you enjoyed the video. It was a LONG three or so weeks to get to this point, and I'm glad I took a step back to hopefully get this right. Also, a couple important things: (1) I chose to end the DensShield outside the tub surround then I could skim coat any DensShield that is left uncovered by tile, but it is best to end it sooner so that the tile covers the transition to drywall. A plumbing situation in the right wall made it impossible to end the DensShield sooner. (2) I chose to install full sheets of DensShield on the left and right walls to avoid having to install blocking at seams - DensShield tech guide: "For walls, when used as a tile substrate a minimum 20-gauge* (33 mils) steel or wood framing should be spaced no greater than 16” (406 mm) o.c. or 24” (610 mm) with *blocking at all joints* for 1/2” (12.7 mm) DensShield Tile Backer and 24” (610 mm) o.c. for 5/8” (15.9 mm) DensShield Tile Backer. Board can be applied horizontally or vertically." *Please leave a 👍 and share the video* 👉 Visit our website ► DIYApprentice.com 👉 Click to Subscribe! ► bit.ly/2pEBg3m 👍▬▬Follow Us on Social Media▬▬👍 ✔️ Facebook ► bit.ly/2pAY8S3 ✔️ Twitter ► bit.ly/2G7mRDz ✔️ Instagram ► bit.ly/2ILEKII 🔧▬▬Tools and Materials▬▬🔧 ✔️ DIY Apprentice Recommended Tools and Materials ► bit.ly/2T5psFw ✔️ DeWalt DW272 VSR Drywall Screwdriver ► amzn.to/2zpguKT ✔️ DeWalt DW272 Nose Piece ► amzn.to/2zpgqLa ✔️ DeWalt DW272 Carbon Brushes ► amzn.to/2xODuRw 👉 Dewalt DW272 Review ► www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEFbn... ✔️ RAK Contour Gauge ► amzn.to/2R9nu6t 👉 RAK Contour Gauge Review ► kzread.info/dash/bejne/pGGWtMqskpafctY.html ✔️ Laticrete Hydro Ban Adhesive & Sealant ► amzn.to/2yBbRQy ✔️ Dewalt DW660 Rotary Saw ► amzn.to/2M3sFm5 I have an older Rotozip - some mixed reviews on newer Rotozip saws. 👉 Pitch-Angle Calculator ► www.blocklayer.com/pitchangle... 👉 Creating Super Shims ► www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGK3w... 📷▬▬Video Equipment▬▬📷 ✔️ Camera used ► amzn.to/2GcpkOb ✔️ Lens used ► amzn.to/2Deu16S ✔️ Tripod ► amzn.to/2GbaM1c ✔️ RAM Suction Mount ► amzn.to/2Wz9PXh ✔️ Cyberlink PowerDirector ► bit.ly/2jTwGxT ✔️ Adobe Photoshop ► bit.ly/2V7nyUX ✔️ Camera Slider ► amzn.to/2WtD7GW ✔️ Deity V-Mic D3 Super-Cardioid Directional Shotgun Microphone ► amzn.to/2LI1lf7

Did you verify with GP that the Hydroban Adhesive and Sealant was compatible with Densshield instead of the recommended 100% silicone?

Shouldn't you leave 1/8" gaps on either side of the DensShield to allow for expansion, like any drywall? Are you pointing out that there's a gap? You should be able to Keri membrane over all the seams to waterproof them regardless. I am putting densshield in my shower as we speak & it is so hard to find the info on if the boards should be a tight fit between sides or allow for expansion.

DensShield should not have gaps between panels. I left gaps between the tub lip and the bottom of the left and right panels so I could install them as full sheets and not damage them; framing and plumbing modifications didn't allow for a more conventional installation. I covered over the DensShield seams and gaps in later videos in this series. If you're doing a full shower, a minimum 1/8" gap is required between the DensShield and the shower pan. Here are some installation instructions: pdf.lowes.com/productdocuments/1554ad3b-3998-4aa9-958d-6bc9d1cb74de/03291688.pdf

Are you talking about covering the whole board with a liquid membrane or just vulnerable areas such as seams, corners, and screw penetrations?

@@terekn2915 Yes, I agree that it's not a bad idea to cover the whole board with liquid membrane; GP does mention it in their installation materials, also.

What type of screws should I use for 1/2” denshield attached to 2x4 wood studs? And what size?

I used 1-5/8" Grip-Rite Prime Guard exterior screws; the screws should be corrosion resistant. Corrosion-resistant drywall screws may work fine. Here are a couple videos that might be useful: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d357q7WwkdeaY6g.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/aKqH08qahpvXkrw.html
