I've never had any confidence at all in the "systems" that use Type S mortar to install those manufactured stone veneers, 'specially outdoors.

Welcome, Scott. :)

Not TMI, but some paragraph breaks would make it a bit more readable, eh?

Welcome, Ryan. :)

I'd also like to know what sort of areas in a shower would still have exposed RedGard after four years. Product manufacturer would not want you should do that.
