What gap to allow between Aquapanel boards, for joint adhesive?

[Draughtsman]

What gap should I allow when cutting the boards, given that adhesive is being used instead of scrim etc.

I gather the adhesive expands? Is this right?

Or do I just butt them up tight after glueing, and get the screws in rapid?

3 - 5 mm gap, most people use one of the screws as a guide.

Prepare for stickiness.

Incredibly sticky. Barrier cream before continuing tomorrow..

Do you use any waterproofing treatment on the Aquapanel boards before tiling?

Depends on the application and what you have created with the aquapanel.

Most will say fully tanking aquapanel is overkill in a domestic shower environment - but aquapanel provide detailed instructions for all use cases; from just using them as a dimensionally stable substrate in a dry area to full wetrooms.

Incredbly sticky. Barrier cream a must, or just hand cream would do, even single cream would be better than nothing.

I'm enclosing a bath on 3 sides, it might have a shower.
