Shower curb help
I already put the metal lathe on the shower curb when I did the pre-slope for the pan... well that is cured now. So since it is attached to the lathe under the pre-slope should I just put the liner over it and add more lathe to the curb or should I clip the lathe off before I put the liner on? I didn't realize you do the curb pretty much last!

Hmmm... I guess I would suggest that you rip this out and start over again for the best job in the long run, OR you could screed the wire lathe to a cement finish, install tar paper over all the cement and then install the liner after that. After you pour the new floor you can install new wire lathe into the floor and then fold over and staple for the curb... cementing later to finish. Further, you need tar paper over any exposed cement between the vinyl membrane and the preslope floor and the curb... cuts down abrasive nature of the cement against the new vinyl membrane, right? You definitely DO NOT want to cut the lathe... will eventually puncture the liner and/or even the tar paper and then the liner will leak and you don't want that! Glad to discuss more if you like...

Mark gave great advice. I have some additional advice which may be too late. Of all the DIY projects one can do building your own mud shower pan from scratch should be last on the list. This is a difficult project without prior experience. There are many other solutions much easier which require less skill. I have done pans for 20 years and never do a mud pan from scratch.

I recently remodel my bathroom. I found that the edge of the shower pan is not level, the largest angle is about 0.5 degree. I plan to put a sliding shower door on top of it.

We are retiling a bathroom with a concrete pan that is about 32 years old. Some of the concrete along the curb has crumbled or is broken up. Is there a way to repair these spots? We have not had any pan leaks so we think the floor is okay but we haven't removed the floor tile yet.
Does a showerpan curb need to be poured sand mix or can you just frame with 3or4 2x4s and wrap with membrane and durrarock? I am going to put a bench in the stall. Does the membrane have to go up the bench face then on the seat and up the stall 6 to 8 inches?
how do you form the curb for a mud set shower stall? Is it just 2x4s stacked and wrapped with membrane and durarock, or do you have to pour the curb with the first layer of mud and then wrap it and pour a second layer higher?
