The customer's contractors hung the cement board. They've kept it up off the liner about 1/2" as I requested.

Before I start packing the final layer of mortar into the pan I install lath for my curb's construction. The lath is molded to the contours of the curb and stapled ONLY on the outside. The inside section will be securely fastened with the weight of the mortar packed against it. |
 |
See how the mortar holds the lath in place?

 |
Build a level screed with the deck-mud at preferred level higher then the drain which will give you the desired slope. |
 |
After the screed is finished add more mortar to build your slab.
|
 |
Scrape it giving special care to a nice even slope without humps or indentations. |
 |
Instead of trying to remove mortar from around the drain to accommodate the tile ... try unscrewing the drain (if you've allowed enough threads) upwards until the trap/plate is flush with the finished surface of your tile.
The finished mortar bed is ready to be waterproofed and tiled.
The next stage is to build the curb.
