A month or two ago, I posted a message regarding installing shower bases as my old one was a disaster. The links you supplied here were very helpful.
Now that I have made all my decisions, I would like to ask advice on the best way to adhere cultured marble panels to the wall. Should I use silicone or adhesive silicone or something else? The I am installing two panels (neo angle shower). Thanks.

chestnut,
Glad my previous information was helpful. Hopefully, the information below will be just as good.
To install your panels, simply place a heavy bead of SILICONE onto the unfinished side of the product. (In the case of Onyx panels be sure to use a clear SLICONE since a darker color may show through the panel!) Once you have placed the SILICONE on the back of the panel place the panel against the wall and brace with a 2x4. Allow adhesive to set for the amount of time recommened on the tube. When this is done, apply your finish caulking to all edges.
Hope this helps and have a Merry Xmas!
