Drywall use should be avoided in the shower area if possible. Any are receiving a daily dose of constant wetting will be prone to moisture infiltration and deterioration. On ceilings that might only receive a smattering of water, any tape should be o.k., as long as the drywall is finished, primed and painted.

∙ 11y agoTo be safe in this situation, I would NOT use any product containing gypsum. There are purpose made products that will do a MUCH better job for you. Durock is one, Dense-Shield is another and there are at least 2-3 more. - These are sheets made with concrete and fibre and are far more durable and water-resistant than any gypsum product. -Another advantage is that most of these come in 30x60 inch, so are handy for use in standard tub walls. All can be cut and snapped just like drywall. I have not used gypsum in tub or shower walls for over ten years.
