Thanks ! I’ll do that anyway !

And I swept it ???

Glued and screwed - that ain’t going anywhere! ??

Back of tray doesn’t seem to have any coating or anything . Assume there’s actually nothing to do here ? I.e tile adhesive should stick to it ( but will test ! )

And the pics are of my legs - bonus !!

Star !

Nick , sometimes I’ve measured 10 times , cut 6 - and it’s still wrong !

I like the concept . But , the reality is - this could turn into a major F up . I’ll come back to my pig heavy , awkward tray later ....

Mine are just hand suckers . I used them to move my famous walk on glazing around . They are ok ; but you can ‘see’ them slowly losing their suction . Ok with glazing as you can set it down and re apply them . My bathroom will be complete before @Onoff ‘s which still isn’t finished ?

Got ya ! so ct1 through flattened applicator head down all 3 sides ! Instead of talking about it I’ll get on with the tanking of all the joints first . Funeral today so talking about fitting a shower tray needed to cheer me up ?

I've got some glass suckers and I certainly don't trust them to hold for any length of time.....

Ok. So straight flexible tile adhesive 'peaked blobs' ( I'll clean/check underside of tray so get good adhesion ) straight onto untreated marine ply Any brand of sealant you would recommend for getting in down the side of the tray?. The alongest side of the tray I can certainly get a good load in and then slide into place. Lateral left/right movement not a lot of play (5mm if that)

Ok ! This is the smaller ensuite tray so not an issue on my own . So tile adhesive ‘peaks’ and tap down . Can’t twist it down as wall on 3 sides . This all sounds relatively easy enough ( presume I pva ply before doing this ) . So the silicone at the edges ( between tray and wall ) no choice but to spatula / force down once tray gone off ?

There ; now it looks like I was clever - sorry @joe90

I’ll quickly unlike joe’s post !!

Ok ! Will go that route . How thick should the adhesive be ? Notched ? . I need to know how much it will drop ? . Will it ‘shift’ / ‘sink’ overnight as it sets ???? Sorry , lots of questions - don’t want to get this wrong !!

The best solution is a lite tray . I reckon props / jacks from beneath is the man solution ?

Not on this yet - but thinking .... I could stick a hole in the beam and block and use a bottle jack to lift/ lower it . Only issues are the height the jack could go and some method to support the whole tray - stop it falling off the jack . Is it ok for a tray to be ‘jacked’ at one point ? ??

Understand with a corner tray - easy ! Also - still concerned about heights . Marine ply is about 3mm below the screed . Can fill gaps with floor tile adhesive . Before I apply floor membrane should I attempt to ‘skim’ ply up by 3mm ? Also when finally bedding tray in sand/cement - how thick should that be ? Notched 10mm ? ( spell check kept trying to type ‘botched’ - obviously it’s well up on my skills ! )

Ok ! Right ( tries not to be confused ) . I forgot (!!!! ) I have a waterproofing kit ( shouldn’t really of forgotten that ) . So - order of tasks 1. Glue and screw ply down 2. delta seal all joints 3. water proof paste 4. fleece and pre form corners 5. more paste I.e as instructions . At this point I assume I would want to bed tray . But still confused how / what point I try and fill the tray to wall touching edges with ct1 ( or silkaflex as you use ) . Understand this silicone application is the real water proofing and that the ‘nice white’ line of Mastik is simply the first line of defence against leaks

Trays pretty tight on all sides . I know I’ve got to bed it in sand/ cement but also ct1 around those edges . Presume once I’m ready to bed it I can ct1 the lower part of the wall ? I.e so as I bed it ct1 squishes our the edges ( easier than trying to it in afterwards ?? )

Fitted the trap to the tray and lowered it in . I think from underneath I can get to it ( worst case chip more block out ) . So ! . Need to glue and screw marine ply down . Then attempt to use tile adhesive to fill any floor gaps ( between marine ply and screed floor ) . Also ‘skim’ tile adhesive over some of the ply to get to screed height - so level ( ish )

Right ! Finally back on this ! I don’t like the tray trap as it’s a screw fitting then a push fitting . I worry if it leaks access from even below is awkward ( hence widening hole in the beam and block ) . Trap though unluckily sits above a beam ( rather than a block ) . So going to get this position right .

SWMBO said the same . Oh sorry , you mean that link ....
