NO, you might think so at first, but the tile will fall off.
You don't put 'spackle' on at all. After taping the drywall seams you 'mud' them with drywall compound. -It is a totally different substance from 'spackle', which should be used only to fill small holes and irregularities in wall.
Sometimes used for maintaining cleaner floor surfaces when installing drywall and drywall finishing. Also used over exterior tile to prevent silt from entering tile.
Use a good mastic or adhesive
No, you can use rotozip tools for any remodeling project. They are used to cut through a wide range of materials such as tile, drywall, and wood.
You can install tile glue right onto drywall. However if you are doing this in a bathroom, first consider all the advantages of using concrete/ fibre boards around the tub and shower. They are far more water resistant, made for tiling, easy to work with and come in handy sizes 30x60 and 36x60. - I have used this in preference to drywall for over 10 years and never had an unhappy client.
The interior walls of a home can be roughcast using a product called Spackle. The Spackle is applied to the walls and then a special roller is used to move the Spackle around. Then the Spackle is allowed to dry. The walls can then be painted but only with an air gun to get into all the time spaces.
No, pumice has nothing to do with drywall.
After drywall primer it can.
Drywall as we know it was first used around 1900.
It is better NOT to use any form of drywall/sheetrock for shower tile walls. -Pros have been using concrete fibre board for years. Cost is only a little more, labour is the same and board is 30 x 60 in most cases, reducing wastage. -Only amateurs use drywall in bathrooms any more.
Cutting drywall before you snap it .
PVA is not commonly used on drywall.
