I am concerned about seal leakage around the drain or other parts can the copper be coated with a red guard or something else before mudding it? Maybe I'm a little over paranoid but it is in a specific spot over the kitchen and nice flooring and any leak would be catastrophicAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00439125027244637070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7117914435009737131.post-12229750667030550312018-01-19T18:30:18.267-05:002018-01-19T18:30:18.267-05:00exactly if installed correctly a rubber membrane ...exactly if installed correctly a rubber membrane will last a lifetime. thanks for sharing Mary anne. ive caught alot of crap erom alot of plumbers at times because they are getting alot of money installing copper and dont like what ive written about the copper pan.

The plumber/installer of the copper pan solders the corner joints and the copper to the drain. Removing the copper pan would compromise these soldered joints as well as break the bond between copper and drain. So basicaly a complete reinstall of the copper pan would be required. And the integrity of the pan would still be in quesrion.. second question. If I had a copper pan to be used in MY shower I would use. Red Guard paint on membrane. As a extraditional layer of waterproof protection not only would it be a extra layer of waterproofING but also would protect my copper past metal from. Deteriorating over time by protecting the metal from exposure to water.RED GUARD can be purchased from Home Depot and painted on with a brush or roller.. I personally would do 2 coats. With a 24 hour dry time before 2nd coat. Hope this has been helpful. And good luck.

I noticed after the pan was installed that I need to reinforce the joists below the pan. So based on your article above, I have two questions. How easy would it be to temporarily remove the pan and and reinstall after the reinforcement is completed?<br /><br />Also, You mentioned a membrane that the copper can be coated with to prevent deterioration of the copper. What is this product?
