I am installing a shower unit and wan to put a mortar bed underneath the unit.
1. What kind of mortar should I use? (thinset, etc)
2 Also, what is the best method of doing this? The largest gap between the subfloor and one of the several under-shower support posts is about 1/4". So I'm thinking about just laying a layer of 1/2" mortar and then setting the shower down into it and using my level to only push the shower down as far as neccesary and then screwing the hangers to prevent it from settling more than it should. Walking away and letting it set up for 24 hrs.
I have never done this before, Is this how the pros do it?
TIA,
Molo
