i watched your video regarding building the curb using 2x4. i noticed that you used 1. treated wood on first one 2. standard 2x4 - 2 more 3. waterproof with Aquadenfense 3. cover with Oatey liner 4. cement board around the curb with thinset 4. then tile this is solid protection from leaking . did i miss anything? @@simonproatl
4. Cement board around the curb with thin set and fiberglass mesh (wrap entire curb or a least all seams with strong 2" fiberglass mesh). 5. 2-3 Layers of Waterproofing Membrane. 6. Tile (shower floor first and grout it then shower curb and shower walls) Good Luck! You Can DO IT :) @@vinhgolf
Great video. Trying to follow your foot steps. I noticed you did not leave a little gab between the curb tiles and shower floor tiles. Should there be at least 1/16 gab there?
Hey, Simon, I followed your video and finished my shower curb. But I didn’t cut well on one inside curb tile, the gab between the bottom of this tile and the mosaic floor tile is slightly larger than 1/4”. Should I worry about that? Is silicon good for wider gaps? Any advices?@@simonproatl
After smoothing out the thinset on top of the curb, how long did you wait before you installed marble top? It could take a while to cut the marble, and the thinset on top might have been dried? @simonproatl

Yes. Graut will hold better is you leave small gap.

1/4" It's a large gap. If you grout it well and silicone it you should be OK. If you waterproof everything underneath you should be fine.
Thanks. You mean grout the 1/4 gap, then silicon on top of it?@@simonproatl
You can use MAPEI Silicone Caulk that matches your grout color @@AndroidTester-g3p
Nice information and video. What model and brand laser are you using.
Bosch
Great video. Thank you
Glad you liked it!

You don't want to wait thin set must be fresh. You have to cut your marble curb first then sooth out the thin set and install curb.
Thanks for the clarification. That make sense. @@simonproatl
Really nice how to videos! Where are you based out of @simonproatl ?
Atlanta GA
Tile down to floor from side of curb seems to be no joint allowed
1/16" to 1/8"
