Hi everyone I’m new here but haven’t been able to find an answer to my question anywhere. I’ve set a Koehler underscore drop in tub onto a mortar bed twice already and both times after removing the shims from between the tub lip and the decking the lip of the tub flexes as I move around in the tub. It flexes about 1/8” which seems like too much as the gap between the tub and the tile will flex and break.
One way to fix this could be to simply leave the shims between the lip and the frame and tile up to it. If I leave the shims in the tub lip doesn’t flex. Obviously this is putting some pressure on the tub lip as someone moves around in the tub but it seems minimal.
Has anyone fixed a problem like this before?
thanks!
