First we hung the fibreglass, by stapling it to the very top. The staples
will be covered by a trim piece.
|
We cut a small strip of 6mm poly and used it to cover over the back flange
of the shower base. Then we overlapped the flange with the cloth. The plastic
prevents the cloth from sticking to the base. Which is important if the
base should ever move.
|
The epoxy is brushed on, it's important to cover all of the cloth as
any sections that aren't completely saturated will appear whitish, regardless
of successive coats.
|
There will be a total of 4 coats. We'll sand after coat #2, and again
after the last coat.
|
The trim plate for the shower controls will overlap the fibreglass by
several inches.
|
The wood behind the showerstall is separate from the wood wall of the
bathroom. That way if the shower wall fails we can replace it with little
difficulty. There will be a 2" trim piece, cut to hold the glass walls,
that covers this seam.
