Premium Plus was discontinued in January 2008.

Use Mapei Kerabond if you can find it.

Hi Bri,

In fact I encountered the same issue with PremiumPlus from Custom Building Products. But in fact, PremiumPlus is only discontinued in the United States. It is still manufactured for the Canadian market, which is why we still find it on the shelves. It is not old stock. smile

After a couple of weeks off for the holidays, started back. Took a couple outside corners and used them for the 45's, folding the material...



Then I took an inside corner, cut it in half and put over the folds.

Got the drain cemented in and half the walls are kerdied. I know most say to leave the floor for last, but I'll be sure to protect it as I continue. I do have 2 small areas that are "bubbles", I'll fix those when I finish the rest of walls.

It's been a while since I've posted, so here's a few pics.

Finished the Kerdi finally...



Then started the niche...





Finished the niche and started the field tile...



I did not have to use ledger boards, I found that I could take my time and set a tile row for a ledger...



Continuing the tiling, the cuts take some time...



I found a use for the laser trac...



And finally where I left off this weekend...

And good work with the Kerdi-it can be a real PITA in niches and on benches, which it looks like you did a good job with the Kerdi there.
