Shower curb base?

Hi I am scratching my head after seeing what is happening to the deck mud that my contractor used to level the subfloor (hardi backer). He used deck mud directly over the hardi backer subfloor and then he installed a kerdi board on top. I was going to use a prefab GoBoard shower curb but Lowe's delayed indefinitely the order so there is still no curb. I am looking at the chipped edges (see the pic) and I am not sure if that is a big deal but wanted to share. Onviously we can not lay a curb on top of this. We need to fix it Do i add addition deck mud or something else to make it straig everyweher? Is dry mud stable enough to be a base for the curb?do i try to cut it and remove it until the edge of the Kirdy and use the cement board underneath as a base fro the curb.? Am i overthinking it?:) Any suggestions or comments ts will be highly appreciated. submitted by /u/Worth_Specialist_371 [link] [comments]
