    Default Mapei Shower Waterproofing Kit

    Hi,

    I Is it best to use Mapei Shower Waterproofing Kit on bare plasterboard or skimmed plasterboard in the shower? I was going to use Aquapanel but there is not enough room to fit stud supports behind it and I have learnt it is not supposed to be dot and dabbed. Should I use moisture resistant or is normal plasterboard OK?

    Thanks for any help

    Edit - I have reposted this in the Waterproofing and tanking forum
