Hi Guys,

Just completed my first Kerdi shower. It came out pretty good. The only problem is, I wasn't as neat as the guy on the Kerdi video...go figure. Anyway, there are some areas on the kerdi where there is excess mortar, and I noticed that my corners are a bit rough (mortar is somewhat lumpy in spots). Other than that, no bubbles and its a good, level shower. How do I remove that mortar without hurting the kerdi?

I would use a piece of tile,glazed side down to scrape it off. The lumps are another matter, you might use a little bigger notch trowel and a level to tap them flat as you go.
