So I'm installing a freestanding fiberglass tub and the bottom is all uneven. High centered in both directions.
The manufacturer already told me to go ahead and cut off the strut in the middle.
The home owner wants it to remain, but doesn't want the 3/8 caulking bead.
My question is what would be the best solution:
1. Foam the gap, once it cures, Cut the strut connecting the long sides in the center, sand down the low points on each short side, and make the tub more even along the base, and set my mortar bed.
2. Leave it as is, with low points at each center and feet adjusted accordingly, set my mortar bed, and just live with the uneven caulking line.
Because of the curve to the base, is honestly not really visible from a standing position, but may be visible from down the hall, if the pocket door is fully opened. Probably see it getting in and off. the bed.
3. Some better option I haven't thought of..
