   Drywall screws are NOT a good idea. There are specific screws for this application.

   Thinset contains additives that make it have a greater bond and elastcity over dry set.

   Drywall screws are called drywall screws, cuz that's all thy're good for.

   You're gonna have a bag of thinset to install the tiles anyway, so why would you want to buy a different product just for the backerboard?

   There is an excellent website devoted to tile questions.  Try johnbridge.com

    

    I'm sorry, I thought you wanted it done the right way.

   Greetings Bob, Welcome to Breaktime

   Similar questions have been addressed here on Breaktime a number of different times in the past.

   If you scroll down in the lower left corner of your screen there is a search function that will take you to previous threads dealing with whatever you type in the search bar.

   If you type in 'tile installation', 'thin set', or other keywords of the subject matter you'll get a good supply of data from those old threads.

   Cheers

   Hey rez,

   I've tried the search function repeatedly and I still can't find the porn. What gives?
