Finish Materials
Apply tile (or other finishing material) leaving a 1/8" gap between the finishing material and the base flange lip. Seal this gap with silicone sealant. Leave a minimum 1/4" weep hole at the back and front corners of the base . The weep holes are necessary to allow drainage from leakage through unsealed tiled grout.
Filling the area marked DO NOT FILL will prevent moisture from draining back into the base through the weep holes. This moisture is due to leakage through the tile grout. Sealing the tile grout will prevent this leakage.
