You may want to look at WEDI
http://www.wedi.de/home_usa/products/fundo/fundo.php

to see if there's a distributor of the WEDI system in your area
http://www.wedi.de/usa/wedi_partner/representatives.php

Their molded pans and wall system is bulletproof and almost "idiotproof". I
used a 4'x6' pan and drain assembly with 1/2" WEDI on the studs - simple as
can be and is completely water tight. Beauty of the system is you can carry
the pan with one hand, and don't have to haul and mix bag after bag of
mortar mix for a traditional pan. And no, I don't work for them - actually
had to convince the distributor to sell to me since thye usually sell only
to contractors. I studied the online installation docs before going in to
see them, and the guy said I almost knew more about it that he did.....

For a fact a mud shower pan is a bit of work and you need to know how
to mud it right so the water flows. I've never done anything else but
am open to something new on ny new house as "walking the dog" mixing
the mud sucks.

*Looks like a perfect product for a do-it-yourselfer. No special tools
required and light weight make it very attractive.

Dave&Sons,Inc. had written this in response to
http://www.thestuccocompany.com/construction/Re-Rubber-shower-pan-liner-16537-.htm
:
We used to hot mop under the weti systems on KB homes tracts due to
lawsuits.
I know every year someone comes out with something "better" than hot mop,
but if
that were the case I believe the ceramic tile institute would recommend
that
product. Hot mop gets a bad name because idiot roofers and
do-it-yourselfers try
to do it. A good hot mopper cant be beat, lasts 50+ years and if they are
good you
wont smell a thing(fox fan vent system).Good Luck
