I asked you last week about removing glue after we took down the bathroom tiles. We have now changed our minds.  New question– Our bathroom does not have a fan.  Could we put up waynes scotting instead.  Not sure about the spelling.We were told it could get mold on it.  Is that true. When we paint we are going to use Marine paint. Thanks again

It looks like this is a fairly normal “change of mind” as they go, with even HGTV having a guide on how to put up wainscoting in a bathroom (Materials & Parts). They don’t mention a mold concern though – so a bit more digging is needed. The general consensus I found is that moisture resistant (sometimes simply called “waterproof resistant”) wainscoting is the way to go. You should be able to find some at a local hardware or home design center, and if properly done, you should be able to use any paint you’d like (although the marine paint could still be used I’d imagine).

Thanks for Asking Jon!
