Hi, looking for some quick advice about tanking plasterboard ready for tiling. The area is going to be a shower. What are you supposed to do with the screw heads that are not on a join? I'm using the mapei wpk, which gives no instruction on this point! Do I just paint the membrane over them, fill them with something then paint, or use the supplied tape on them using the same method as the corners? Area is to be tiled (if that makes a difference)! Have searched high and low on the internet but can't find an answer, please help! Many thanks.

Many thanks. I put a lot of screws because I don't want the plasterboard falling due to the tile weight!

So today I'm thinking of just using some flexible waterproof filler on them then just painting the membrane over the top. Someone let me know if this is wrong, hopefully before I start the process! :)
