make sure it's perfectly set
everything is shimmed up to make it perfectly level
then use one whole can of foam
put it wherever you're going to stand
so literally every place your feet will be
especially where you're standing
when taking your shower
and then keep the water buckets there for 36 hours
until the expanding foam stops expanding - Jak na to + styl
Been brainstorming this idea. Im gonna trust you and try it based solely on you using "regardless" and not "irriegardless."
Irregardless ...
..you should do it
🤣😂
I do it once a week and it works absolutely perfectly
I had an excellent contractor do two oversized showers in a very old house in Philly. He did this exact procedure, and the pans have been perfectly solid for five years now. A similar install, in a house in Richmond, had no foam, cracked after several years, and really should be replaced. I, of course, used my boating fiberglass experience and have salvaged it for the time being. Foam it first and do put all that crazy weight on it to hold it down.
This is the exact shower base I am working on installing. I weigh 300 pounds and I couldn’t imagine using only thinset to support the base.
This was very informative.
Can’t see the guy but I’m pretty sure this is a shower pan lesson from Andy Reid!!
I have a pvc liner that I just put in I was going to use mortar sand mix to to level but it is a low profile pan and my concern is that If I put down too much mortar sand mix it will not sink down to the desired height...
this foam will ooze and fill in...
but will it melt the pvc liner that I just put down....
No it's perfectly fine
We just got a new shower put in and the pan creaks and flexes so bad....very disappointed
