The directions for my tub say either you can use mortar or construction adhesive on four points that are the bottom of the tub for this purpose.
1-I think for me it would be easier to use the adhesive. Any reason not to? And would loctite PL Premium Polyurathane construction adhesive be a good choice for adhesive?
2-How would I get the 5' tub into the 5' space without dragging the glue over the floor and off of the intended areas on the tub?
3- Is it OK to put the tub over bare plywood sub-straight. the rest of the floor will be tiled.
4- What would be the best type of insulation on the walls. 2 walls go to another room and on wall is against an inside a crawl crawl space but is considered an outside space.
5- I am planning on putting drywall up after the tub is in, then kerdi to waterproof. Do I just leave the area in back of where the tub is down to the floor bare, except for the insulation between the joists?
6-There is an area in the sub-floor that is cut away where the drain goes. It had some kind of white cotton like pieces of what must be insulation that is beteen the joists. I took some of it out because I wanted to get at the drain. Is it important to put new insulation back in the area I can reach? This is a second floor bath and I want it too be as sound proof as possible for the rooms below.
7- I also want to do the drain over-flow and the new shower/tub valve myself- and hope I can fell confident enough with all the help here to do it-but I'll leave that for another post.
Thanks!
