Alkaline resistant mesh tape, press thinset into it as you set the tile.

Re: Prep. Question???
How about the ceiling angle?
Durock on the wall, DensArmor on the ceiling. Have to Durabond the ceiling, what about holding the mesh to the Durock til you guys get there?

Re: Prep. Question???
The tape is kinda sticky, just mud it to the ceiling and let it hang, thinset will deal with it later.
