Question 2

how much do i need for floor and shower walls  appx 110 sq ft?

Accepted Answer

my shower was 2 walls, 3ftx8ft and a 3x3ft floor. Total would be 58 sq ft.  I had enough for two full coats and some left over.  And I was generous with the material...laid it on nice and thick.  I would suggest, start low and cover as high as you can just in case you ran out, but anything above about 4ft does not need to waterproofed....just a nice to do.  DR

Question 3

Can this be used as a caulk around plastic and porslin ?

Accepted Answer

No this is not made for caulking.  Plastic is not a suitable substrate according to the manufacturers specifications.
