Next step another mud base about 2" thick on the shower pan floor and then the tiling begins
Now I'm really confused. Why are you putting another 2" over the existing pan that already has HydroBan on it?
Your pan should only have 1 layer of mud and a top coat of HydroBan if you used a clamp style drain with the divot method.
The only extra mud should be to fill the divot around the drain.
The Laticrete clamping drain spec and drawing is a little confusing as they show 2 separate layers of waterproofing around the drain. I think they show it that way to create one surface top coated layer in case a natural stone were to be used for the tile surface. This would prevent a possible bleed thru problem at the drain.
Their spec should only be at the drain, not the entire pan.
