A big "thank you" to jadnashua for advice on a previous post.
I have created the first mortar slope for the shower pan and laid down the PVC, the Hardibacker is up and taped and mudded with fiberglass tape and thinset. Last night I built the top pan 2" thick and did my all-fired best to lay the slope evenly. It will be about 4 days until I can tile.
My questions are:
1. when should I paint the waterproof membrane on to the mortar pan? its 24 hours.
2. Is there are problem if I paint the entire shower floor with the liquid waterproofing?
3. Can I pour water onto the mortar pan before I paint the waterproofing, to see if there are any pools or low spots? If so, how long should I wait to do that?
I appreciate the help.
