Step 9 · Allow Mortar to Cure
The installation is mechanically complete, but the mortar must fully cure to provide its final strength. Do not stand in, place tools in, or otherwise disturb the shower pan for at least 24 to 48 hours. Refer to the mortar bag for specific curing times. After the curing period, carefully step into the pan and walk around. It should feel completely solid and have zero flex or movement underfoot. This solid feel confirms a successful installation.
