Silicone oozed under shower pan liner

[Brandon1023]

Hey guys first post here.. To make a long story short, I am building a shower in a rental property and I used an old tube of silicone to secure the liner to the drain flange. The tube had dry silicone, so I had to cut it with a blade and a a result, a thicker than normal bead came out. I didn't think it'd be a problem and went ahead and tightened the bolts. The next day after I flood tested it, I realized there's now a lump under the liner around the drain flange.

How big of a deal is this? I can remove a couple cement boards and maybe lift the liner up from the outer edges to try and carefully get a blade under there and remove the excess. If I leave it, I don't see how the water will get into the weep holes. Any opinions are welcome.

Silicone doesn't cure too fast.. could you release the clamp and scrape off the lumps?

Yup that would be the worst case scenario. I want to avoid doing another flood test

did all the water drain no pooling? if so I guess its not a problem plenty of slope.

Good news. I am at the house today and was able to reach my arm under the liner and get pretty much everything out. Thanks for the replies.
