Re: Unique Advice On Mudding Shower Pans.



I'm curious about the method used in this photo. If I understand what I am seeing in this picture, what keeps the water from wicking into the concrete and migrating back under the hot mop?

The water very well could/will wick under the concrete.The hot mop is pre-sloped and there are holes weep holes to allow the water to go down the drain.The water will not get through the hot mop.

Oh.....OK OK I get it now maybe. That is the top cast concrete ready for tile in the hot mopped receptor. Right? I couldn't tell from the photo if I was looking at vinyl or concrete. I'm still not sure.
