OK, everything has gone perfectly (I really like that Pro Curb) up to the top layer of MIchigan Mud.

The final base-tile layer of the shower pan has dried about 24 hours. I found an area of level slope along the outside (it was a little tricky because of rectangle shape). Its about a six inch by twelve inch area that I overlooked as I started doing more harm than good to the surface.

Time is not a problem, what is the best way to correct? Can I use a thin layer of MIchigan Mud? Otherwise the thin-set?

Thanks!

epk,

You could do either: mud a bit more to make the slope meet the wall - or - backbutter your tiles that go over the level portions to create a slight pitch. I suggest you mud the last part and be confident you have sloped the whole base correctly.
