Oatey at Lowe's: 5' x 6' PVC Shower Pan Liner - 40 Mil

hey this is what you were talkin about for the shower liner right?

M-D Building Products at Lowe's: Backer Rod for Gaps and Joints 3/8" x 20'

and this is the backer rod?

I thought my buddy had something like that but he actually had a polyolefin product for roofing, its not quite the same thing. So I figured its cheap enough I'll just go grab some of this. Should I be using treated lumber to bridge the gap, or no because its not directly setting on the floor? Should I wrap the entire bridge, edge to edge, with the liner or just enough to cover the gap and caulk everything else? and for my last question, once I wrap the wood, should I use staples to hold it in place than caulk everything or should I use an adhesive to hold the liner in place, than caulk everything?
