XFastenWaterproofing Membrane Sheet, 6” x 75 Ft Shower Waterproofing Membrane Tape for Underlayment Tile, EPDM Underlayment, Cement Board Tape

Worked extremely well in relation to my shower. Period. The membrane was easy to apply with a waterproofing mix of red. The corners are perfect, appears to be durable and long lasting and have used it over a year with no problems at all. Would buy it again, great product

Don’t do your shower renovation without it. Used for all the seams in conjunction with waterproofing membrane. Excellent product.

I wanted to get the Custom Building Products' 6" fiberglass mesh for a RedGard shower and shower pan I'm building, but the you-know-who orange Big Box store doesn't stock it, so I'd have to find a local Custom Building Products distributor and wait. It's Sunday and I wanted to figure out a supported alternative to RegGard's proprietary fabric. and I want to to get rolling now..I bought the Laticrete waterproof membrane reinforcement fabric on Amazon, but I wasn't sure if it's compatible with RedGard (i.e. Custom Building Products' product line). I didn't want to run out of reinforcement tape, so I went to buy a 2nd roll of the Laticrete stuff, but noticed xFasten cost half as much! So I bought a roll, decided to compare them and will share what I found with you.Custom Building Products' anti-fracture tape claims explicitly that it is alkali resistant fiberglass. Alkali resistant fiberglass is specifically what Custom Building Products endorse for using RedGard waterproofing membrane over changes of plane. Unfortunately The Laticrete product is not fiberglass or at least makes no mention of it. However xFasten is alkali resistant fiberglass.I compared xFasten directly to the Laticrete fabric, I find them comparable. Both have strong sheer resistance but xFasten *seems* to be stronger. xFasten is softer and more pliable. The Laticrete fabric is a bit more structured/rigid but still basically soft/fiberous and pretty easy to work with. The Laticrete fabric holds creases and folds better, the xFasten fabric is easier to "re-calibrate" on the fly.I personally think all three manf's 6" waterproof membrane reinforcement tape they will do the trick for the task (i.e. reinforcing liquid-applied waterproof membrane at changes of plane), but since I have to get my shower pan inspected by the city, I wanted to be sure I could claim to the inspector if asked that I met the criteria specified by RedGard (fiberglass, alkalai reistant), so went with xFasten instead of the Laticrete fabric. If it was Monday I'd just have called Custom Building Product's support line and asked them if the Laticrete fabric (or xFasten) are acceptable for RedGard.

Membrane worked well, used it to cover the gaps/joints in the backerboard. Thicker membrane than the other ones I’ve used in the past

X Fasten Fiberglass Waterproofing Anti-Fracture Membrane Fabric Tape, 6-Inch x 75-FootVery excellant for reinforcing seams on the roof, and you saturate with roof (rubbery or latex) compound.The roof product is generally a bit thicker as paint and you paint it on the roof or object to be sealed and then saturate the cloth covering the seam.for clear understanding, there is NO STICKY on this cloth, it is just a cloth, that you use roofing material to attach to the roof.You can kin this to using paper tape when drywalling the seams in your house. The paper tape also has no stickyness to it, you use the wall mud to stick it.This is used to help the roofing material stretch without tearing, thus maintaining the seal on your roof.This is important on an RV because they are moving, seams open and close as you are driving down the road. This works great with products like Kool Seal but any product that you can roll or brush on should work.I also used in on an RV air con COVER thatwas cracking and used this and clear Truck Bed Liner to make it strong again.The Air Con covers are made of plastic, and they are greatly affected by UV light. The covers cost $200 to replace. Putting the Truck bed liner on also protects form Ice hail attacks by the weather.I highly recommend this clothI do not know the seller and did not receive any money or product for my random review.210706 1813

We used fabric tape and roofing liquid rubber to seal all of the seams in our chicken coop, after applying several coats of polyurethane. Makes for easy cleanup and has keep pests at bay.

Easy to use, adhered to the redguard and absorbed nicely, easy to cut

So for starters, I'm not a DIY'r, I'm a professional tile setter with 10 years experience and I've waterproofed many many rooms and showers. The pros of this particular fabric are that it is easy to get on Amazon. I have no idea why places like lowes and home depot sell the liquid, but no fabric. It's setting people up for failure. But then again, if you want to do it right, hire a professional. Also, pro tip, hire a guy that ONLY does tile. If your painter or carpenter says they do tile too, don't do it. Trust me they don't. Anyway another pro is that the stuff works. It sticks real well to the liquid does its job. The major con is when it comes to making in and out corners. This stuff is so floppy, I don't wanna say flimsy because I don't want to imply that that it won't do the job. It's just not stiff enough to make corners easily. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look it up or maybe get a pro to do your Waterproofing. End result, if you do this a lot, find the Mapei fabric.
