I'm installing a new shower pan, and from reading these boards, I can see that most recommend bedding the pan in a mortar base. I see that most like the method that calls for a few piles of mortar and pressing the tub/pan into the piles. My question is specifically with the swanstone pan I'm using. The underside of the pan is a grid of 3-4 inch squares that contact the floor, rather than the small contact points that seem to be common. In this situation, would you still bed the pan in mortar? If so how would you go about it? Since the grid is across the entire pan, the mortar would not have any place to "squeeze out" as in the other installations. Any opinions?
