Hi, I'm adding a shower and was goint to use the rolled rubber they sell at
home depot, but someone mention I need a HOT MOP to seal the shower
otherwise it would leak.
I called a plumber and he said he never used the hot mop, only the rubber.
Do I need or not the HOT MOP and if I do, how much does it cost to get
someone to pour it.
I'm in orange county, CA.
Thanks,
Ruben

No need for hot mop

I believe "hot mop" is a different process. I recommend significant research on
mud-set shower pan constrruction before starting.

I have seen a hot mop job done on a few poured concrete shower pans and
tubs. A hot mop is hot liquid tar that is literally mopped onto the floor,
walls, or roof that you want sealed. It does a very good job of sealing,
but if you have a wood floor base I don't think that you need a bucket of
hot stinky tar being dragged into your house.
If you want or need a hot mop job call a roofing contractor as they have the
necessary equipment and experience.

Have you ever seen Hot Mop in progress on a roofing job, its is a tar
cooker on a trailer cooking at maybe 200-300f stinking up the
neighborhood with molten tar smell, the tar comes in big solid 50 lb
blocks and is cooked to liqued.
