Shower Waterproofing

Hey everyone,

I am planning on self performing the work for a new construction curb less shower in my home. My wife and I would like to use Micro Cement. I want to use the Micro Cement on the shower walls, and floors of the entire bathroom. Does anyone have experience with this type of install? Am I approaching it right?

Will this be a problem, or can I go ahead and continue with the liquid Hydro Ban?

Question 2: I sloped the cement board on my window sill using thinset, but I need to know the best way to waterproof the transition to the window frame (it will see plenty of water). The end state is a long composite sill tile on top. Is it okay to use Laticrete Hydro Ban Adhesive & Sealant where the cement board meets the window? I plan to apply it like…
