The first step is to dry fit a Wedi building panel over the curb. Cut a notch out of the Wedi panel such that it will fit down over the Lean curb.
Clean the rabbet cut in the Wedi Fundo Primo shower pan and ensure there's no debris or thin-set in it. Then apply a generous bead of Wedi Joint Sealant in the rabbet and over the Lean curb where it meets the shower bench.
Mark the stud locations on the bench top. And embed the Wedi building panel into the rabbet and Wedi Joint Sealant.
Start the first screws/washers for the panel about 4 inches above the shower pan. Then add screws every 8 inches after that along the stud.
Cut Wedi panels flush with the bench top using a utility knife. Then smooth out Wedi Joint Sealant that oozed between the panel and shower pan. Finish adding all the screws and washers to the vertical panels.
Dry fit the Wedi panel that will be the bench top. Cut a notch in this panel so it fits flush with the stud wall.
Dampen the wood bench top with a sponge. Apply thin-set to the top of the shower bench and bottom of the Wedi panel. Use directional troweling such that all the ridges face the same direction.
Set the Wedi bench top and check that it slopes toward the shower yet is level moving left to right.
Seal the edges and screws/washers with Wedi Joint Sealant to completely waterproof the shower bench.
