Tile backerboard adjoining drywall

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
I’am planning replacing a tile surround around tub and shower.(Greenboard turned to mush) I would like to use backerboard behind tiled areas.I know to use a cementiuos type joint compound for the backerboard seams but I’am not sure what product to use for joints where backerboard meets drywall. Any sugestions?
