Folks,
I got a Dreamline 32x60 shower pan. I know my subfloor is slightly not level. Some spots may be off by about 1/8". I have dropped a level on the floor and tried to prelevel with shims in advance. When I put the pan down, I can feel some soft spots in the middle where it flexes. And if I step on one side it teeter totters. I just want to get this right before setting it on a bed of mortar as I am not interested in pulling the pan out and redoing it.
Just wondering what successes you folks had with leveling the shower pan? Any tips or ideas that could be beneficial. My coworker suggested I put some clay or wet towel to see how far down it compresses and that way I can determine what size shim to use.
