Do you mean 300mm under the tray then up the wall how much ? Or do you mean 300mm from under the tray right up the walls to the ceiling all in blue ?? Read it again ! I think you mean 300mm ply base up the wall yes ? I.e shower base then up 300mm blue ?????????????? Rest of it I got ! ?? I needed 2 pints and 3 reads of that..... OK. No tanking under the tray. Tanking is on vertical walls only. Tank from where the wall hits the floor to 300mm above that junction. So basically a 300mm tanking skirting board. There. Now go do, and post the pics in the morning. 1

Pocster Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 Think I’ll just bed the tray with adhesive today . Do all the ct1 another day . One mistake a day is enough ...
Pocster Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 Test dry run . So tight taking tanking strip off the wall . As this is below the tray and obsolete will cut out

Pocster Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 Even taking cellophane off tray still Uber tight . Note to self - don’t make it so tight ! Zero movement left and right

Pocster Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Tried one of @Nickfromwales tips suggest of hammering the ct1 applying nozzle . The tray at the moment won’t go down on the ply - about 5mm above it . Assume that’s not issue as I can easily gain 5mm with the adhesive. As the tray is can get tons of ct1 around the edge later - just one Uber Uber tight edge Edited August 21, 2020 by pocster
Pocster Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 Guessing the issue must be my mis placed tanking strip on wall to floor junction - below tray level . Will rip that out
Pocster Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 Right ! Better fit . Sat on ply now . Gap at that tight end better a bit . Can force the nozzle in there ! Used my glazing sucker to help move ( why do I have one of those ? ? )
Pocster Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 I think once in I shall re tank the bit 300mm around tray as bound to of scratched it
Pocster Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Stupid question number 10000 The rubber gasket appears to sit nicely on the waste ( ribbed ) . But does the gasket go under the tray or ontop ? im guessing on top ... Edited August 21, 2020 by pocster
Onoff Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 @Nickfromwales will be along shortly. My money is underneath with the flange bedded down on white Sikaflex and a smear on the gasket.

Pocster Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 Done . Blobbed tile adhesive as Nick said . Gone down to the ply so I think good coverage . Also scrubbed the underside of the tray as advised before laying . One (expletive deleted) up though . As I’m slightly further from the rear wall a small section of marine ply is just on the edge of the trap . I can feel it with my fingers . Awkward but I’ll have to cut that out from underneath somehow . Problem for next week . Just to prove its level ... 2
Pocster Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 Looking up under . The trap is a bit tricky to fit . Will break more of that block out . Also can just about access with a multi tool and cut that corner of ply sticking out . Trap might clear it anyway ... Would put a photo of the tile adhesive blobs up before laying the tray ; but afraid someone will say they are wrong . Fancy a private PM of it Nick ? But you can’t ever share ( unless it’s right ) . Either way it’s on the ply so very little movement and tray ain’t every coming up anyway .
Pocster Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 Worn out . Had a session ( joke for @Onoff there ) with my PT - knackered me . Now had that tray in and out half a dozen times . Hard work on your own .

Take it to the grave with you. ? All good from what I’ve seen / heard. ? 1
