: Help, I installed a 36" square fiber glass (plastic?) shower pan. It sits in a mortar bed. : The mortar is about 1 - 2 inches away from the drain hole. : The problem I have is there is a bit of give when someone walks in the shower. Not very much, : maybe 1/8" play at most. It does creak though. Kind of like an old creaky wood floor. : My question. Can I try to squirt some construction adhesive under the pan? What about some of that : expanding (Or non expanding) foam in a can? : I don't think the play will cause any long term problems, its really just the annoying creak when I : shower. : The bathroom is complete and resetting the pan is not an option, i will live with the creak if that is my : only resolution Brian, I don't like the expanding foam. Construction glue that is safe with plastic resins would be my choice here. Terry
