I have schulter sloped pan on the floor of my new shower.
The walls are coated with Mapei Aquadefense.
Where the pan and wall meet at the bottom I want to seal the joint with a folded kerdi band.
My question is regarding the thinset mortar to use that will not fail.
The band to the pan calls for unmodified Thinset ( ( schulter)
Mapei specifies modified thinset to be used when installing tile and stone to Aquadefense but nothing in the literature mentions the use a product like kerdi.
I was thinking of using unmodified as will have if mixed to install the kerdi membrane on the pan.
Then I would seal the seam of the band along the wall with silicon and coat it with Aquadefense.
Comments welcomed.
